3.1 Anti-static Precautions

WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the ITG-100AI
may result in permanent damage to the ITG-100AI and severe injury to the
user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the WAFER series motherboard and the power module. (Dry climates are
especially susceptible to ESD.) It is therefore critical that whenever the ITG-100AI is
opened and any electrical component 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 ITG-100AI, place it on an

anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the ITG-100AI.

3.2 Installation Precautions

During installation, be aware of the precautions below:
Read the user manual: The user manual provides a complete description of

the ITG-100AI, installation instructions and configuration options.
DANGER! Disconnect Power: Power to the ITG-100AI must be

disconnected during the installation process, or before any attempt is made to
access the rear panel. Electric shock and personal injury might occur if the
rear panel of the ITG-100AI is opened while the power cord is still connected
to an electrical outlet.
