5.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
IMBA-XQ354 may result in permanent damage to IMBA-XQ354 and
severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the IMBA-XQ354. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical that whenever the IMBA-XQ354, or any other electrical component is 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 the board.
 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.
 Use an anti-static pad: When configuring the IMBA-XQ354, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
IMBA-XQ354.
 Only handle the edges of the PCB:-: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
