2.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during installation may result in permanent
damage to the DRPC-242-ADL-P Series and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the DRPC-242-ADL-P Series. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It
is therefore critical that whenever the DRPC-242-ADL-P Series or any other electrical
component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
▪
Wear an anti-static wristband : Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.
▪
Self-grounding : Before handling the board touch any grounded conducting
material. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch any
conducting materials that are connected to the ground.
▪
Use an anti-static pad : When configuring the DRPC-242-ADL-P Series,
place it on an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging
the DRPC-242-ADL-P Series.
