Chapter 1 Hardware Installation 1-1 Installation Precautions The motherboard contains numerous delicate electronic circuits and components which can become damaged as a result of electrostatic discharge (ESD). Prior to installation, carefully read the user's manual and follow these procedures: • Prior to installation, do not remove or break motherboard S/N (Serial Number) sticker or warranty sticker provided by your dealer. These stickers are required for warranty validation. • Always remove the AC power by unplugging the power cord from the power outlet before installing or removing the motherboard or other hardware components. • When connecting hardware components to the internal connectors on the motherboard, make sure they are connected tightly and securely. • When handling the motherboard, avoid touching any metal leads or connectors. • It is best to wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap when handling electronic com- ponents such as a motherboard, CPU or memory. If you do not have an ESD wrist strap, keep your hands dry and first touch a metal object to eliminate static electricity. • Prior to installing the motherboard, please have it on top of an antistatic pad or within an electrostatic shielding container. • Before unplugging the power supply cable from the motherboard, make sure the power supply has been turned off. • Before turning on the power, make sure the power supply voltage has been set according to the local voltage standard. • Before using the product, please verify that all cables and power connectors of your hardware components are connected. • To prevent damage to the motherboard, do not allow screws to come in contact with the motherboard circuit or its components. • Make sure there are no leftover screws or metal components placed on the motherboard or within the computer casing. • Do not place the computer system on an uneven surface. • Do not place the computer system in a high-temperature environment. • Turning on the computer power during the installation process can lead to damage to system components as well as physical harm to the user. • If you are uncertain about any installation steps or have a problem related to the use of the product, please consult a certified computer technician. - 9 - Hardware Installation
