    WAFER-LX Motherboard 5.1 Anti-static Precautions Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components, including the WAFER-LX. (Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD.) It is therefore critical that whenever the WAFER-LX (or any other electrical component) is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.

  • Page 82: Unpacking

    WAFER-LX Motherboard When installing or configuring the motherboard, place it on an antistatic pad. This helps to prevent potential ESD damage. Turn off all power to the WAFER-LX: When working with the motherboard, make sure that it is disconnected from all power supplies and that no electricity is being fed into the system. Before and during the installation of the WAFER-LX DO NOT do the following: DO NOT remove any of the stickers on the PCB board.
