3.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING!
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
KINO-945GSE may result in permanent damage to the KINO-945GSE
and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the KINO-945GSE. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the KINO-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 KINO-945GSE, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
KINO-945GSE.
ƒ Only handle the edges of the PCB:- When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
3.2 Unpacking
3.2.1 Unpacking Precautions
When the KINO-945GSE is unpacked, please do the following:
ƒ Follow the anti-static precautions outlined in Section 76
7
3.1.
