Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or change 

any motherboard settings.

•

Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component.

•

Before handling components, use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded

object or a metal object, such as the power supply case, to avoid damaging them due

to static electricity.

•

Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.

•

Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic pad or in the

bag that came with the component.

•

Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the ATX power supply is

switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply. Failure to do so 
may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, or components.

Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure that the

motherboard fits into it.

Ensure that you unplug the power cord before installing or removing the motherboard.

Failure to do so can cause you physical injury and damage motherboard components.

When installing the motherboard, ensure that you place it into the chassis in the correct

orientation. The edge with external ports goes to the rear part of the chassis as indicated in 

the image below.
