2.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING!
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
IMBA-Q454-R10 may result in permanent damage to the
IMBA-Q454-R10 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the IMBA-Q454-R10. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical to strictly adhere to the following anti-static precautions whenever the
IMBA-Q454-R10, or any other electrical component, is handled.
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 IMBA-Q454-R10, place it on
an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
IMBA-Q454-R10.
ƒ Only handle the edges of the PCB - When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
2.2 Unpacking
When the IMBA-Q454-R10 is unpacked, please do the following:
ƒ Follow the anti-static precautions outlined in Section 2.1.
ƒ Make sure the packing box is facing upwards so the IMBA-Q454-R10 does
not fall out of the box.
ƒ Make sure all the components shown in Section 2.3 are present.
