2.2 Static-Free Installation
Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the
system. Most of the controllers that are returned for repair are the
results of improper installation and ESD damage. To prevent ESD
damage to any of the components, before touching or handling them
follow these precautions:
discharge the static electricity from your body by wearing an
anti-static wrist band or by touching a grounded metal surface.
Avoid carpets, plastic, vinyl or styrofoam in your work area.
Handle any components by holding its edges or metal frame.
Avoid touching PCB boards or connector pins.
