Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To protect them against damage from static electricity, you should follow some precautions whenever you work on your computer. 1. Unplug your computer when working on the inside. 2. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. If you do not have one, touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as the power supply case. 3. Hold components by the edges and try not touch the IC chips, leads or connectors, or other components. 4. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the components whenever the components are separated from the system. 5. Ensure that the ATX power supply is switched off before you plug in or remove the ATX power connector on the motherboard. Installing the motherboard to the chassis... If themotherboard has mounting holes, but they don't line up with the holes on the base and there are no slots to attach the spacers, do not become alarmed you can still attach the spacers to the mounting holes. Just cut the bottom portion of the spacers (the spacer may be a little hard to cut off, so be careful of your hands). In this way you can still atach the motherboard to the base without worrying about short circuits. Sometimes you may need to use the plastic springs to isolate the screw from the motherboard PCB surface, because the circuit wire may be near by the hole. Be careful, don't let the screw contact any printed circuit write or parts on the PCB that are near the fixing hole, otherwise it may damage the board or cause board malfunctioning.

Item Checklist
Computer motherboards and ex pansion cards contain v ery delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To
protect them against damage from static electricity , y ou should follow some precautions w henev er y ou
w ork on y our computer.
1.
U nplug y our computer w hen w orking on the inside.
2.
U se a grounded w rist strap before handling computer components. If y ou do not hav e
one, touch both of y our hands to a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as
the pow er supply case.
3.
H old components by the edges and try not touch the IC chips, leads or connectors, or
other components.
4.
Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came w ith the
components w henev er the components are separated from the sy stem.
5.
Ensure that the ATX pow er supply is sw itched off before y ou plug in or remov e the ATX
pow er connector on the motherboard.
If the motherboard has mounting holes, but they don’
t line up with the holes on the base and there are
no slots to attach the spacers, do not become alarmed y ou can still attach the spacers to the mounting
holes. Just cut the bottom portion of the spacers (the spacer may be a little hard to cut off, so be careful
of y our hands). In this w ay y ou can still atach the motherboard to the base without w orry ing about short
circuits. Sometimes y ou may need to use the plastic springs to isolate the screw from the motherboard
PC B surface, because the circuit w ire may be near by the hole. Be careful, don’
t let the screw contact
any printed circuit w rite or parts on the PC B that are near the fix ing hole, otherw ise it may damage the
board or cause board malfunctioning.
