2.1 Unpacking

2.1.1 Anti-static Precautions

WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
HDC-301MS may result in permanent damage to the HDC-301MS and
severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the capture card. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical that whenever the HDC-301MS 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 HDC-301MS, place it on an
anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the capture
card.

Only handle the edges of the PCB: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.

2.1.2 Unpacking Precautions

When the capture card is unpacked, please do the following:

Follow the anti-static precautions outlined in Section 2.1.1.

Make sure the packing box is facing upwards so the capture card does not fall
out of the box.

Make sure all the components listed in Section 2.1.3 are present.
