4.1 Anti-static Precautions Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components, including the IMB-9452. (Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD.) It is therefore critical that whenever the IMB-9452 (or any other electrical component) is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
The user should ground them self to remove any static charge before touching the IMB-9452. To do so wear a grounded wrist strap at all times or frequently touch any conducting materials that is connected to the ground.
Do not place a PCB on top of an anti-static bag. Only the inside of the bag is safe from static discharge. 4.3.2 Checklist When unpacking the IMB-9452, please make sure that the package contains the following items. 1 x IMB-9452 single board computer...
