Information about Boards

Take care with the locking mechanisms (catches and centring pins) when you are replacing board or
components on board.
To prevent damage to the board or the components and conductors on it, please take care when you
insert or remove boards. Make sure expansion boards are inserted straightly.
Never use sharp objects (screwdrivers) for leverage.

Pull out the power plug before inserting or removing boards.
Always hold boards with ESDs by their edges.
Never touch pins or conductors on boards fitted with ESDs.
