B.1.2 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
IOBA-10F-AD may result in permanent damage to the IOBA-10F-AD
and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the IOBA-10F-AD. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical that whenever the IOBA-10F-AD is opened and any of the electrical components
are 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 any electrical component.

Self-grounding : Before handling any electrical component, touch any
grounded conducting material. During the time the electrical component is
handled, frequently touch any conducting materials that are connected to the
ground.

Use an anti-static pad : When configuring or working with an electrical
component, place it on an anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD
damage.

Only handle the edges of the electrical component : When handling the
electrical component, hold the electrical component by its edges.
