Explanation
Motherboards are highly sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). An ESD wrist strap (D) grounds the technician, preventing static buildup from discharging into the component during handling. An antistatic bag (E) safely stores the old or new motherboard before and after installation, shielding it from ESD. CPU paste/thermal compound (A) is used during CPU installation, not a safety measure. Safety goggles (B) protect eyes during physical hazards (drilling, grinding) not relevant here. Self-grounding (C) by touching a metal chassis is less reliable than a proper ESD strap. An air filter mask (F) protects from dust inhalation and is unrelated to component safety.
