Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com 

ponents. To prevent 

damage to your system board, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following 

measures are generally suffi cient to protect your equipment from ESD.

Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.

• 

Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic 

• 

bag.

Handle the board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral 

• 

chips, memory modules or gold contacts.

When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.

• 

Put the serverboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not 

• 

in use.

For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent 

• 

conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and 

the serverboard.

Use only the correct type of CMOS onboard battery as specifi ed by the manu-

• 

facturer. Do not install the CMOS onboard battery upside down, which may 

result in a possible explosion.

The serverboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When 

unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected.
