1.4 Before you proceed
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or
change any motherboard settings.
y Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching
any component.
y Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object
or a metal object, such as the power supply case, before
handling components to avoid damaging them due to static
electricity
y Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on
them.
y Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a
grounded antistatic pad or in the bag that came with the
component.
y Before you install or remove any component, ensure that
the ATX power supply is switched off or the power cord is
detached from the power supply. Failure to do so may
cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, and/or
components.
