Soyo SY-5S User Manual

Make sure to ground yourself before handling the mainboard or

other system components. Electrostatic discharge can easily

damage the components. Note that you must take special

precautions when handling the mainboard in dry or air-conditioned

environment.

To protect your equipment from electrostatic discharge, take the

following precautions:

Ø Do not remove the anti-static packaging until you are ready to

install.

Ø Ground yourself before removing any system component from

its protective anti-static packaging. (To ground yourself, grasp

the expansion slot covers or other unpainted portions of the

computer chassis.)

Ø Frequently ground yourself while working or use a grounding

strap.

Ø Handle the mainboard by its edges and avoid touching its

components.
