Configuring the M54E2

Although the M54E2 system board is packaged in protective materials,
it is important to use care while unpacking and setting up.

Static Electricity

The M54E2 is shipped from the factory in an antistatic bag. To reduce
the possibility of damage, it is important to neutralize any accumulated
static charges on your body before handling the board. The best way to
do this is to ground yourself using a special wrist or ankle strap. If you
do not have a strap, you should touch both of your hands to a safely
grounded object. After you have grounded yourself, ground the M54E2
via the solder pads surrounding one of its mounting holes.

Once the M54E2 is removed from its packaging, place it on top of the
antistatic bag. Carefully inspect the board for damage which may have
occurred during shipment.

Office Environment

Make sure the finished computer system is in an area with good
ventilation. The system should not be in direct sunlight, near heaters,
or exposed to moisture, dust or dirt.
