Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated Circuit

(IC) chips. To protect them against damage from static electricity, you should follow

some precautions whenever you work on your computer.

1. Unplug your computer when working on the inside.

2. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. If you do not have one, touch

both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as the power supply

case.

3. Hold components by the edges and try not touch the IC chips, leads or connectors, or other

components.

4. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the components

whenever the components are separated from the system.

5. Ensure that the ATX power supply is switched off before you plug in or remove the ATX power

connector on the motherboard.

Installing the motherboard to the chassis...

If the motherboard has mounting holes, but they don't line up with the holes on the base and there are

no slots to attach the spacers, do not become alarmed you can still attach the spacers to the mounting

holes. Just cut the bottom portion of the spacers (the spacer may be a little hard to cut off, so be careful of

your hands). In this way you can still attach the motherboard to the base without worrying about short

circuits. Sometimes you may need to use the plastic springs to isolate the screw from the motherboard

PCB surface, because the circuit wire may be near by the hole. Be careful, don't let the screw contact

any printed circuit write or parts on the PCB that are near the fixing hole, otherwise it may damage the

board or cause board malfunctioning.
