2.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
PM-LX2-800 may result in permanent damage to the PM-LX2-800 and
severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the PM-LX2-800. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical that whenever the PM-LX2-800 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 PM-LX2-800, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
PM-LX2-800.
Only handle the edges of the PCB: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
2.2 Unpacking Precautions
When the PM-LX2-800 is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the anti-static precautions outlined in Section 2.1.
Make sure the packing box is facing upwards so the PM-LX2-800 does not fall
out of the box.
Make sure all the components shown in Section 2.3 are present.
