P/I-P55SP3AV User's Manual To protect the mainboard and other components against damage from static electric discharge, you should follow some basic precautions whenever you handle them: 1. Use a grounding wrist strap. The strap will have an 'alligator' • clip at the end of a shielded wire lead. Clip it to a grounded object. Any static electricity will then harmlessly discharge through the strap. Put on and connect the strap before you handle the components. 2. Use an anti-static pad. Put any components on the pad whenever you work on them outside the computer. If you don't have a pad, put the components on the anti-static bag they came in. Both the wrist strap and pad are inexpensive and are generally available from computer supply companies.
