3.1 Anti-static Precautions

WARNING:

Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the

PC400C series may result in permanent damage to the PC400C series

and severe injury to the user.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,

including the PC400C Series Panel PC. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It

is therefore critical that whenever the PC400C Series Panel PC 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 ground.

Use an anti-static pad: - When configuring the PC400C Series Panel PC,

place it on an anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging

the PC400C Series Panel PC.

Only handle the edges of the PCB: - When handling the PCB, hold the PCB

by the edges.

3.2 Installation Precautions

When installing the panel PC, please follow the precautions listed below:

Power turned off: When installing the 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.
