5.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
eKINO-945GSE may result in permanent damage to the
eKINO-945GSE and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the eKINO-945GSE. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the eKINO-945GSE, 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 eKINO-945GSE, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
eKINO-945GSE.
ƒ Only handle the edges of the PCB:-: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
