3.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING!
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
WAFER-945GSE2 may result in permanent damage to the
WAFER-945GSE2 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the WAFER-945GSE2. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the WAFER-945GSE2 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 the ground.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring the WAFER-945GSE2, place it on
an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
WAFER-945GSE2.
Only handle the edges of the PCB: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
3.2 Unpacking
3.2.1 Unpacking Precautions
When the WAFER-945GSE2 is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the anti-static precautions outlined in Section 3.1.
Make sure the packing box is facing upwards so the WAFER-945GSE2 does
not fall out of the box.
Make sure all the components shown in Section 3.3 are present.
