  • Page 90: Anti-Static Precautions

    Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components, including the NOVA-LX. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore critical that whenever the NOVA-LX, or any other electrical component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.

  • Page 91: Installation Considerations

    NOTE: The following installation notices and installation considerations should be read and understood before the NOVA-LX is installed. All installation notices pertaining to the installation of the NOVA-LX should be strictly adhered to. Failing to adhere to these precautions may lead to severe damage of the NOVA-LX and injury to the person installing the motherboard.

  • Page 92: Installation Checklist

    NOVA-LX 5.25” Motherboard When working with the NOVA-LX, make sure that it is disconnected from all power supplies and that no electricity is being fed into the system. Before and during the installation of the NOVA-LX DO NOT: Remove any of the stickers on the PCB board. These stickers are required for warranty validation.

  • Page 93: Unpacking

    When the NOVA-LX is unpacked, please do the following: Follow the anti-static precautions outlined in Section 5.1. Make sure the packing box is facing upwards so the NOVA-LX does not fall out of the box. Make sure all the components in the checklist shown in Chapter 3 are present.
