Do not work alone.
Before removing or installing main system components, be sure to

disconnect the power first. Turn off the system before you disconnect the

power supply.

Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment

to avoid possible electrical shock.

Use rubber mats specifically designed as electrical insulators when

working with computer systems.

The power supply or power cord must include a grounding plug and must

be plugged into grounded outlets.

CAUTION
Electric Static Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To

prevent damage to your system board, it is important to handle it very
carefully. The following measures can prevent ESD damage to critical
components.

Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their antistatic

bags until ready for use.

Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the

antistatic bag.

Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your clothing,

which may retain a charge even if you are wearing a wrist strap.

Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the

antistatic bag.

Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral

chips, memory modules or contacts.

When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
Put the motherboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when

not in use.

For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides

excellent conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting
fasteners and the motherboard.
