Asus P/I-AP55T - Manual (Page 10)

P/I-AP55T User’s Manual
To protect the mainboard and other components against damage
from static electric discharge, you should follow some basic precau­
tions 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 when­
ever 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.
