Precaution Before Start
Static Electricity Damage:
CA
Static electricity can easily damage your motherboard.
Observing a few basic precautions can help safeguard against
damage that could result in expensive repairs. Follow the
ION simple measures below to protect your equipment from static
electricity damage:
1. Keep the motherboard and other system components
in their anti-static packaging until you are ready to install them.
Touch a grounded surface before you remove any system componmt from
its protective anti-static packaging. Unpadring and installation should he
done on a grounded, anti-static mat, The operator should be wearing an anti-
stulic wristband, grounded Bl the same points as the anti-static mm.
Afier removing the motherboard from its original packaging, only place it
an a grounded, anti-static surface componenl side up, Immediately inspect the
hoard for damage. Due to shitting during shipping, it is suggested that the
installer press down on the entire socket ms to ensure they are properly
seated. Do this only with the board placed on a firm flat surface.
During configuration and installation touch a grounded surface frequently
to discharge any static electrical charge that may have huilt up in your body,
The best precaution is to wear a grounded wrist strap, When handling the
motherbon or an adapter card avoids touching its components. Handle the
motherboard and adapter cards either by the edgto or by the adapter card
casemounting hraclret.
Misplaced Jumper Damage:
CA
There are critical headers used for connectors or power
sources, here are clearly marked separately from the
jumpers listed in Motherboard Layout. Incorrectly setting
jumpers and connectors may lead to damage to your
ION motherboard. Please pay special attention not to connect
these headers in wrong directions.
