4.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
WAFER-945GSELVDS2 may result in permanent damage to the
WAFER-945GSELVDS2 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the WAFER-945GSELVDS2. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It
is therefore critical that whenever the WAFER-945GSELVDS2, 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 WAFER-945GSELVDS2, place
it on an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
WAFER-945GSELVDS2.
ƒ Only handle the edges of the PCB:-: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
