3.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during installation may result in
permanent damage to the uIBX-200-VX800 and severe injury to the
user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the uIBX-200-VX800. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the uIBX-200-VX800 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 uIBX-200-VX800, place it on
an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
uIBX-200-VX800.
3.2 Unpacking Precautions
When the uIBX-200-VX800 is unpacked, please do the following:
ƒ Follow the anti-static precautions outlined in Section 3.1.
ƒ Make sure the packing box is facing upwards so the uIBX-200-VX800 does
not fall out of the box.
ƒ Make sure all the components shown in Section 3.3 are present.
