2.3 Safety Precautions
Follow the instructions below to avoid your system from damages:
1. Keep your system away from static electricity on all occasions.
2. Prevent electric shock. Don’t touch any components of this board when it is
powered on. Always disconnect power when the system is not in use.
3. Disconnect power source when you change any hardware devices.
For instance, when you connect a jumper or install any cards, a surge of power
may damage the electronic components or the whole system.

WARNING: Always disconnect the power cord when you are
working with connectors and jumpers on the main board.
Make sure both the system and peripheral devices are turned
OFF as sudden surge of power could damage sensitive
components. Make sure BE-0961 is properly grounded.
CAUTION: Observe precautions while handling electrostatic
sensitive components. Make
sure to ground yourself to
prevent static charge while you are working on the
connectors and jumpers. Use a grounding wrist strap and
place all electronic components in any static-shielded
devices.

CAUTION: Always touch the motherboard components by
the edges. Never touch components such as a processor by
its pins. Take special cares while you are holding electronic
circuit boards by the edges only. Do not touch the main board
components.
