Handling and Installation 

1.1  Handling Precautions 

  CAUTION 

Handle the board by the edges or front panel only. 

 

Electronic assemblies use devices that are sensitive to static discharge. Some of the 
components assembled on Abaco Systems products may be sensitive to electrostatic 

discharge and damage may occur on boards that are subjected to a high energy 
electrostatic field. Observe anti-static procedures when handling these boards. All 
products should be in an anti-static plastic bag or conductive foam for storage or 

shipment. Work at an approved anti-static workstation when unpacking boards. 
When the board is placed on a bench for configuring, etc., it is suggested that 
conductive material be inserted under the board to provide a conductive shunt. 

Unused boards should be stored in the same protective boxes in which they were 
shipped. 

1.2  Unpacking Procedures  

Any precautions found in the shipping container should be observed. All items 
should be carefully unpacked and thoroughly inspected for damage that might have 

occurred during shipment. The board(s) should be checked for broken components, 
damaged printed circuit board(s), heat damage and other visible contamination. All 
claims arising from shipping damage should be filed with the carrier and a complete 

report sent to Abaco Technical Support.  

Remove the PMC423 from the shipping box and anti-static packaging. Verify that it 

is not damaged and that all items are present by referring to the packing list.
