1.03 IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS WHEN WORKING WITH A BOARD
1.03.1 STATIC ELECTRICITY PRECAUTIONS
Since static electricity can damage a board, the following precautions should be taken:
•
Keep the board in its antistatic package, until you are ready to install it.
•
Touch a grounded surface before removing the board from its package or wear a grounding
wrist strap; this will discharge any static electricity that may have built up in your body.
•
Handle the board by the edges.
•
When handling the board, touch a grounded surface often or wear a grounding wrist strap.
1.03.2 POWER PRECAUTIONS
Before hardware setup and installation, make sure the board is completely powered down.
