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.
