Electrostatic Precautions
CAUTION: All Profile system circuit boards have components that are highly
sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). To protect these components from
damage and to maintain product reliability, take the following precautions
when handling the circuit board:
• Handle all circuit boards in a static-protected area capable of controlling
static charge on conductive materials, people, and nonconductive
materials. Static-protected areas include nonstatic table tops and nonstatic
floor mats.
• While out of the chassis, place boards in the ESD static-shielded bags
(provided with this kit) until you install them.
• Wear ESD grounding straps when handling boards outside of their ESD
static-shielded bags.
• Handle the circuit boards only by the edges and avoid touching the printed
wires on the back of the circuit board as much as possible.
