The motherboard is intended for use in a laboratory or engineering development environment. If removed from its enclosure, the board becomes more sensitive to electrostatic discharges and generates increased electromagnetic emissions. Removing the board from the enclosure also results in flexing that fractures the printed-circuit board connections to the components.
To avoid damage, observe the following precautions:
Never subject the board to high electrostatic potentials.
Always wear a grounding strap when touching the board in or away from its enclosure.
Avoid touching the component pins or any other metallic element.
Always power-down the board when connecting daughterboards, memory expansion boards, or making external connections.
Do not remove the board from its enclosure.
Do not use near equipment that is:
Sensitive to electromagnetic emissions, for example medical equipment.
A transmitter of electromagnetic emissions.
