Anti-Static Precautions; Unpacking Precautions - IEI Technology WSB-9152 User Manual

3.1 Anti-static Precautions

WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
WSB-9152 may result in permanent damage to the WSB-9152 and
severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the WSB-9152. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical that whenever the WSB-9152, or any other electrical component is 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 WSB-9152, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the WSB-9152.
Only handle the edges of the PCB: - When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.

3.2 Unpacking Precautions

When the WSB-9152 is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the anti-static precautions outlined in Section 3.1.
Make sure the packing box is facing upwards so the WSB-9152 does not fall
out of the box.
Make sure all the components shown in Section 3.3 are present.
