5. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
5.1
STATIC ELECTRICITY
Since static electricity can damage a board, the following precautions should be taken:
1. Keep the board in its antistatic package, until you are ready to install it.
2. Touch a grounded surface or wear a grounding wrist strap before removing the board
from its package; this will discharge any static electricity that may have built up in
your body.
3. Handle the board by the edges.
5.2
STORAGE ENVIRONMENT
Electronic boards are sensitive devices. Do not handle or store devices near strong
electrostatic, electromagnetic, magnetic or radioactive fields.
5.3
POWER SUPPLY
Before any installation or setup, ensure that the board is unplugged from power sources or
subsystems.
