3.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the
ICECARE-07 may result in permanent damage to the ICECARE-07
and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the ICECARE-07. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical that whenever the ICECARE-07 is accessed internally, or any other electrical
component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
ƒ Wear an anti-static wristband: - Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.
ƒ Self-grounding: - Before handling the board touch any grounded conducting
material. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch any
conducting materials that are connected to the ground.
ƒ Use an anti-static pad: - When configuring the ICECARE-07, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
ICECARE-07.
ƒ Only handle the edges of the PCB: - When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
3.2 Installation Precautions
When installing the ICECARE-07, please follow the precautions listed below:
ƒ Power turned off: When installing the ICECARE-07, make sure the power is
off. Failing to turn off the power may cause severe injury to the body and/or
damage to the system.
ƒ Certified Engineers: Only certified engineers should install and modify
onboard functionalities.
