WARNING: Electrostatic Sensitive Device (ESD)

Static electricity can easily damage your motherboard and will void your motherboard

warranty. 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

component from its protective anti-static packaging. Unpacking and installation should be

done on a grounded, anti-static mat. The operator should be wearing an anti-static wristband,

grounded at the same points as the anti-static mat. During configuration and installation

touch a grounded surface frequently to discharge any static electrical charge that may have

built up in your body. Avoid touching the components when handling the motherboard or a

peripheral card. Handle the motherboard and peripheral cards either by the edges or by the

peripheral card case-mounting bracket.

WARNING: Misplaced Jumper Damage

Incorrect setting jumpers and connectors may lead to damage to your motherboard and will

void your motherboard warranty. Please pay special attention not to connect these headers

in wrong directions. DO NOT change ANY jumpers while the motherboard has the power!
