Washer Series:
DIY-ON09 Mainboard Glass Washer
- Fixing between the Motherboard and Screw to
prevent short circuit
- Thickness: 0.5 mm x 10pc
These special washers are
manufactured from a glass material and are used to prevent static shock
or a short circuit between your expensive motherboard and the mounts.
Increasingly I am seeing high-end manufacturers including these but if
you don't have a set I recommend picking some up. Having a fresh
set for every install is just a good practice.
With the power supply
installed and the motherboard properly grounded, its time to fasten
things down in their new home. To install the washers all you need
to do is place the motherboard onto the mounting risers and line things
up. Then place a glass washer over the hole before screwing
things down.
This picture shows the
washer installed. The extra layer of protection for your
mother board can mean the difference in protecting your motherboard from
an outside static discharge or a short circuit caused by an improperly
grounded component. Many newer motherboard mountings can require
more than 8 of these to cover every mount, so don't forget to get an
extra set. As I mentioned above it is also a good idea to inspect
these washers during a reinstall to make sure they have not become
damaged and replace them when needed. Its just amazing to me how
much we spend on a high-end performance PC, but we neglect to do the
simple things to protect our investment from a damaging electrical
discharge.
