UNPACKING THE MAINBOARD
The Mainboard comes packed in a sturdy cardboard shipping carton. The carton contains:
• The Mainboard
• This User's Guide
Note: Do not remove the mainboard from its original packing until ready to install.
The mainboard is easily damaged by static electricity. Observe the following precautions while unpacking and
installing the mainboard.
1. Touch an unpainted area of the system chassis before handling the mainboard or any component.
Doing so, discharges the static charge the user's body may have built.
2. Remove the mainboard from its anti-static wrapping and place it on a grounded surface, component
side up.
3. Inspect the mainboard for damage. Shipping may have loosened integrated circuits from their
sockets. If any integrated circuit appears loose, press carefully to seat it firmly in this socket.
Do not apply power if the mainboard appears damaged. If there is damage to the board, or items are missing,
contact dealer immediately.
