Safety Precautions

Products may be damaged due to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Please follow these steps for successful computer assembly.

• Ensure all components are firmly connected. Loose connections may lead to the computer failing to recognize components or start.
• To prevent ESD damage when handling the motherboard, discharge your body static by touching other metal objects before removing it from the box.
• Hold the motherboard by its edges. Do not touch sensitive components.
• When not installing the motherboard, place it in an anti-static container or on an anti-static pad.
• Before turning on the computer, ensure all internal parts are firmly connected without loose screws or metal components.
• Do not start the computer before installation is complete, as this may cause permanent damage to components or injury to the user.
• For assistance during installation, contact HUANANZHI after-sales customer service or email business@huananzhi.com.
• Prior to installation or disassembly, switch off the power and unplug the power cable from the socket.
• Keep the motherboard away from moisture.
• Keep the user manual for future reference.
• Before plugging in the power supply, ensure the socket provides the correct voltage.
• In certain situations (liquid penetration, exposure to moisture, non-operation despite following instructions, physical damage), have the motherboard checked by a service technician.
