Anti-Static Precautions - IEI Technology PM-PV-N4551/D5251 User Manual

4.1 Anti-static Precautions

WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
PM-PV-N4551/D5251 may result in permanent damage to the
PM-PV-N4551/D5251 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including thePM-PV-N4551/D5251. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the PM-PV-N4551/D5251 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 PM-PV-N4551/D5251, place
it on an anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
PM-PV-N4551/D5251.

Only handle the edges of the PCB: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
