3.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the device
may result in permanent damage to the device and severe injury to the
user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the AFL-HM55. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical that whenever the AFL-HM55 is accessed internally, 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 AFL-HM55, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the device.
 Only handle the edges of the PCB: - When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
3.2 Installation Precautions
When installing the flat panel PC, please follow the precautions listed below:
 Power turned off: When installing the flat panel PC, make sure the power is
off. Failing to turn off the power may cause severe injury to the body and/or
damage to the system.
 Certified Engineers: Only certified engineers should install and modify
onboard functionalities.
 Anti-static Discharge: If a user open the rear panel of the flat panel PC, to
configure the jumpers or plug in added peripheral devices, ground themselves
first and wear and anti-static wristband.
