WAFER-LX

Airflow Consideration

Although the embedded board can operate without active cooling, it is still necessary to install the

board in a chassis with ventilation holes on the sides allowing airflow to travel through the heatsink

surface. In a system with an individual power supply unit, the cooling fan of a power supply can

also help generate airflow through the board surface.

Unpacking Precautions

Some components on the WAFER-LX are very sensitive to static electric charges and can be

damaged by a sudden rush of power. To protect it from unintended damage, be sure to follow

these precautions:

Ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching your PCB. You can do

so by using a grounded wrist strap at all times or by frequently touching any

conducting materials that is connected to the ground.

Handle your PCB by its edges. Do not touch IC chips, leads or circuitry if not

necessary.

Do not plug or unplug any connector or jumper while the power is on.

Do not place a PCB on top of an anti-static bag. Only the inside of the bag is safe

from static discharge.

Memory Module

DDR 333/400, 256MB, 512MB, or 1GB, 144-pin SODIMM modules recommended.
