Setting Up the Workspace
CAUTION To prevent damage to the CoreModule 800 SBC, do not handle the board until you
have followed good Electrostatic Discharge precautions.
Always touch a grounded, unpainted metal surface before touching the CoreModule
800 SBC or any of the components on the board.
Always use an anti-static wrist strap connected to a grounding mat, which has static-
dissipating characteristics and attached to earth ground.
4) Select workbench location • The workbench location should have a non-conductive, static-free mat
(or the equivalent) to place the CoreModule 800, I/O Interface Board,
and I/O Cable Adapter Board on for setup and operation (including
the connection of the power supply, peripherals, and support devices).
5) Connect an ESD strap to
your body
• Connect an ESD strap between your body (wrist or ankle) and ground
on the static-free mat.
If you do not have your own ESD strap, an ESD kit is provided in
the QuickStart Kit with an anti-static wrist strap.
6) Unpack CoreModule 800 • Remove the CoreModule 800 from its protective plastic case and
place it on a non-conductive, static-free work surface.
• Remove the I/O Interface Board (I/O Board) and the I/O Cable
Adapter Board (I/O Adapter) from the respective protective container
(usually in the cable bag) and place each one on a non-conductive,
static-free work surface.
