The SBC-749 Board must be used in accordance with the instructions for use.
The SBC-749 Board is designed to be built-in to a system. The integration

•
if the device has visible damage or
•
if the device no longer functions.
In these cases the device must be shut down and secured against unintended

4.1. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
The components on the board are sensitive to static electricity. Care must
therefore be exercised at all times during handling and inspection of the SBC-
749 Board, in order to ensure the product integrity.
Do not handle this product while it is outside its protective enclosure,
while it is not used for operational purposes, unless it is otherwise anti-
static protected.
Unpack or install this product only at EOS/ESD safe work stations. When safe
work station are not guaranteed, it is important for the user to be
electrically discharged before touching the SBC-749 Board with his/her hands
or tools. This is most easily done by touching a metal part of your system
housing.
Only hold the assemblies at the edge.
Do not touch any connection pins or conductors on the assembly.
