3.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during installation may result in
permanent damage to the IDS-310-AL and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the IDS-310-AL. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical that whenever the IDS-310-AL 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 IDS-310-AL, place it on an
anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the IDS-310-AL.
3.2 Installation Precautions
During installation, be aware of the precautions below:

Read the user manual
: The user manual provides a complete description of
the IDS-310-AL, installation instructions and configuration options.

DANGER! Disconnect Power
: Power to the IDS-310-AL must be
disconnected during the installation process, or before any attempt is made to
access the bottom panel. Electric shock and personal injury might occur if the
bottom panel of the IDS-310-AL is opened while the power cord is still
connected to an electrical outlet.

Qualified Personnel
: The IDS-310-AL must be installed and operated only
by trained and qualified personnel. Maintenance, upgrades, or repairs may
only be carried out by qualified personnel who are familiar with the associated
dangers.
