2.3.1 ESD Prevention
Static electricity may hurt you or damage the device. To minimize the damage, pay attention
to the following points:

Before touching the card or electronic components, make sure that you are working in an
ESD safe environment.

Before you operate the device, wear the ESD-preventive wrist strap. Both terminals of the
ESD preventive wrist strap must contact well. One terminal touches your bare skin, and the
other is inserted in the jack at the front or back side of the shelf.

Avoid moving as much as possible. Movement gathers static electricity around you.

Do not touch the solder point, pin, or bare circuit.

Do not leave the device in the place where others can operate it.

Install the device at once after you take it out of the anti-static package. If you need to lay
down the device, place it back in the anti-static package. Do not lay the device on the shelf
or cabinet.

Monitor the temperature and humidity of the equipment room. Warm air decreases the
humidity but increases the static electricity in the room.
Damage of Circuits
Electrostatic discharge and incorrect module installation and removal can damage
circuits or shorten their life. Before touching the module or electronic components,
make sure that you are working in an ESD safe environment.
