2.2.1 Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
The discharge of static electricity, known as Electrostatic Discharge or ESD, is a
major cause of electronic component failure. The XVR16 has been packed in a
static safe bag which protects the board from ESD while the board is in the bag.
Before removing the XVR16 or any other electronic product from its static safe
bag, be prepared to handle it in a static safe environment.
A properly functioning antistatic strap should be worn and the handler should be
fully grounded. Any surface upon which you place the unprotected XVR16
should be static safe, usually facilitated by the use of antistatic mats. From the
time the board is removed from the antistatic bag until it is in the card cage and
functioning properly, extreme care should be taken to avoid damaging the board
with ESD. Damage to the board can occur from an imperceptibly small discharge.
Extra caution should be taken in cold and dry weather when static easily builds.
