Anti-Static Precautions - IEI Technology KINO-PVN-D5251 User Manual

4.1 Anti-static Precautions

WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
KINO-PVN-D5251/D4251 may result in permanent damage to the
KINO-PVN-D5251/D4251 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the KINO-PVN-D5251/D4251. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It
is therefore critical that whenever the KINO-PVN-D5251/D4251 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 KINO-PVN-D5251/D4251,
place it on an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging
the KINO-PVN-D5251/D4251.

Only handle the edges of the PCB: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
