4.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
PM-PV-D4251/N4551/D5251 may result in permanent damage to the
PM-PV-D4251/N4551/D5251 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including thePM-PV-D4251/N4551/D5251. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD.
It is therefore critical that whenever the PM-PV-D4251/N4551/D5251 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 PM-PV-D4251/N4551/D5251,
place it on an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging
the PM-PV-D4251/N4551/D5251.
ƒ Only handle the edges of the PCB: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
