5. Static electricity may cause damage to the delicate integrated circuit chips on your motherboard Before handling the motherboard outside of its protective packaging ensure that there is no static electric charge in your body To avoid this risk please observe these simple precautions while handling the motherboard and other computer components 1 If possible wear an anti static wrist strap This fits around your wrist and is connected to a natural earth ground 2 Touch a grounded or anti static surface or a metal fixture such as a pipe or the chassis of your system before touching the motherboard 3 When you have removed the motherboard from its anti static packaging try to hold it only by the edges without touching any components 4 Avoid contacting the components on add on cards motherboards and modules with the golden fingers gold colored connectors which plug into the expansion slots It is safest to handle system components only by their mounting brackets Keep components which are connected to the system the anti static packaging whenever possible These precautions help to reduce the risk of static build up and ensure any static discharge is harmless to your equipment e Battery Replacement The battery which holds the system settings memory on your motherboard should not require replacement for at least five years and probably much longer In picture 2 2 it is located near the bottom righ
