ESD and handling boards: Always handle boards carefully. They can
be extremely sensitive to ESD. Hold boards only by their edges. After
removing a board from its protective wrapper or from the system, place it
component-side UP on a grounded, static-free surface. If you place the
baseboard on a conductive surface, the battery leads may short out. If they
do, this will result in a loss of CMOS data and will drain the battery. Use a
conductive foam pad if available but NOT the board wrapper. Do not slide
board over any surface.
Cooling and airflow: For proper cooling and airflow, always install the
chassis access cover before turning on the system. Operating the system
without the cover in place can damage system parts.
Installing or removing jumpers: A jumper is a small plastic encased
conductor that slips over two jumper pins. Some jumpers have a small tab on
top that you can grip with your fingertips or with a pair of small or fine
needle nosed pliers. If your jumpers do not have such a tab, take care when
using needle nosed pliers to remove or install a jumper; grip the narrow sides
of the jumper with the pliers, never the wide sides. Gripping the wide sides
can damage the contacts inside the jumper, causing intermittent problems
with the function controlled by that jumper. Take care to grip with, but not
squeeze, the pliers or other tool you use to remove a jumper, or you may
bend or break the stake pins on the board.
