4.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
PCISA-PV-D4251/N4551/D5251 may result in permanent damage to
the PCISA-PV-D4251/N4551/D5251 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the PCISA-PV-D4251/N4551/D5251. Dry climates are especially susceptible to
ESD. It is therefore critical that whenever the PCISA-PV-D4251/N4551/D5251 or any
other electrical component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly
adhered to.
ƒ
Wear an anti-static wristband : Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.
ƒ
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.
ƒ
Use an anti-static pad : When configuring the
PCISA-PV-D4251/N4551/D5251, place it on an antic-static pad. This reduces
the possibility of ESD damaging the PCISA-PV-D4251/N4551/D5251.
ƒ
Only handle the edges of the PCB : When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
4.2 Installation Considerations
NOTE:
The following installation notices and installation considerations should
be read and understood before installation. All installation notices must
be strictly adhered to. Failing to adhere to these precautions may lead
