Safety Information

∙ The components included in this package are prone to damage from electrostatic

discharge (ESD). Please adhere to the following instructions to ensure successful

computer assembly.

∙ Ensure that all components are securely connected. Loose connections may cause

the computer to not recognize a component or fail to start.

∙ Hold the motherboard by the edges to avoid touching sensitive components.

∙ It is recommended to wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap when

handling the motherboard to prevent electrostatic damage. If an ESD wrist strap is

not available, discharge yourself of static electricity by touching another metal object

before handling the motherboard.

∙ Store the motherboard in an electrostatic shielding container or on an anti-static

pad whenever the motherboard is not installed.

∙ Before turning on the computer, ensure that there are no loose screws or metal

components on the motherboard or anywhere within the computer case.
