2. Installation
This is a micro ATX form factor motherboard. Before you install the moth-
erboard, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure that the mother-
board fits into it.
Pre-installation Precautions
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard com-
ponents or change any motherboard settings.
1. Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or
removing the motherboard. Failure to do so may cause 
physical injuries to you and damages to motherboard com-
ponents.
2. In order to avoid damage from static electricity to the moth-
erboard’s components, NEVER place your motherboard 
directly on a carpet. Also remember to use a grounded wrist 
strap or touch a safety grounded object before you handle 
the components.
3. Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.
4. Whenever you uninstall any components, place them on a 
grounded anti-static pad or in the bag that comes with the 
components.
5. When placing screws to secure the motherboard to the
chassis, please do not over-tighten the screws! Doing so 
may damage the motherboard.
