Anti-Static Precautions; Installation Considerations - IEI Technology WSB-9152 User Manual

5.1 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.

5.2 Installation Considerations

NOTE:
The following installation notices and installation considerations should
be read and understood before the WSB-9152 is installed. All
installation notices pertaining to the installation of the WSB-9152
should be strictly adhered to. Failing to adhere to these precautions
may lead to severe damage of the WSB-9152 and injury to the person
installing the motherboard.
