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.
