Preparing Your Computer

The motherboard contains numerous delicate electronic circuits and components which can

become damaged as a result of electrostatic discharge (ESD). Thus, prior to installation, please

follow the instructions below:

1. Please turn off the computer and unplug its power cord.

2. When handling the motherboard, avoid touching any metal leads or connectors.

3. It is best to wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) cuff when handling electronic components

(CPU, RAM).

4. Prior to installing the electronic components, please have these items on top of an antistatic pad or

within a electrostatic shielding container.

5. Please verify that the power supply is switched off before unplugging the power supply connector

from the motherboard.

Installation Notices

4. To prevent damage to the motherboard, please do not allow screws to come in contact with the

motherboard circuit or its components.

5. Please make sure there are no leftover screws or metal components placed on the motherboard or

within the computer casing.

6. Please do not place the computer system on an uneven surface.

7. Turning on the computer power during the installation process can lead to damage to system

components as well as physical harm to the user.

8. If you are uncertain about any installation steps or have a problem related to the use of the product,

please consult a certified computer technician.

Instances of Non-Warranty

1. Damage due to natural disaster, accident or human cause.

2. Damage as a result of violating the conditions recommended in the user manual.

3. Damage due to improper installation.
