A.1.2 Anti-static Precautions

WARNING:

Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the

ECW-281B/281B2-R21/N270 may result in permanent damage to the

ECW-281B/281B2-R21/N270 and severe injury to the user.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,

including the ECW-281B/281B2-R21/N270. Dry climates are especially susceptible to

ESD. It is therefore critical that whenever the ECW-281B/281B2-R21/N270 is opened and

any of the electrical components are handled, the following anti-static precautions are

strictly adhered to.

Wear an anti-static wristband: Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can

help to prevent ESD from damaging any electrical component.

Self-grounding: Before handling any electrical component, touch any

grounded conducting material. During the time the electrical component is

handled, frequently touch any conducting materials that are connected to the

ground.

Use an anti-static pad: When configuring or working with an electrical

component, place it on an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD

damage.

Only handle the edges of the electrical component: When handling the

electrical component, hold the electrical component by its edges.
