4.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
WAFER-945GSE2 may result in permanent damage to the
WAFER-945GSE2 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the WAFER-945GSE2. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the WAFER-945GSE2 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 WAFER-945GSE2, place it on
an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
WAFER-945GSE2.
Only handle the edges of the PCB:-: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
4.2 Installation Considerations
NOTE:
The following installation notices and installation considerations should
be read and understood before installation. All installation notices must
be strictly adhered to. Failing to adhere to these precautions may lead
to severe damage and injury to the person performing the installation.
