3.1 Anti-static Precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the AUPS-C20. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical that whenever the AUPS-C20 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 AUPS-C20, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the AUPS-C20.
ƒ Only handle the edges of the PCB:-: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
3.2 Installation Precautions
When installing the power module, please follow the precautions listed below:
ƒ Power turned off: When installing the power module, 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.
ƒ Certified Engineers: Only certified engineers should install and modify
onboard functionalities.
ƒ Anti-static Discharge: If a user open the top cover of the power module, to
configure the jumpers or plug in added peripheral devices, ground themselves
first and wear an anti-static wristband.
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
AUPS-C20 may result in permanent damage to the AUPS-C20 and
severe injury to the user.
