ATTENTION:

OBSERVE PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING ELECTROSTATIC DEVICES

Motherboard Handling Precautions

Before handling any boards, observe the following procedures:

• Remove any static charge from your body by touching a grounded piece of metal on
the game.  Failure to ground yourself before performing an upgrade may result in
damage to your system and may prevent you from performing a successful upgrade.

• 

Use a ground strap when handling the boards.

• 

When plugging in connectors to the board, make sure the connector is inserted

straight onto the header and that the connector covers all header pins.

• 

Do not connect any peripheral device to the board if the power is still connected to

the peripheral or if power is already applied to the board.

• 

Prevent electro-static discharge by storing the boards in the anti-static bags in

which they are shipped.
