2.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during installation may result in
permanent damage to the PAC-400AI-C236 and severe injury to the
user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the PAC-400AI-C236. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the PAC-400AI-C236 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 PAC-400AI-C236, place it on
an anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
PAC-400AI-C236.
2.2 Unpacking Precautions
When the PAC-400AI-C236 is unpacked, please do the following:
