4.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during installation may result in
permanent damage to the product and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the WAFER-KBN-i1. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical to strictly adhere to the following anti-static precautions whenever the
WAFER-KBN-i1, or any other electrical component, is handled.
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 WAFER-KBN-i1, place it on an
anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
WAFER-KBN-i1.
Only handle the edges of the PCB :-: When handling the PCB, hold it by the
edges.
4.2 Installation Considerations
NOTE:
The following installation notices and installation considerations should
be read and understood before the WAFER-KBN-i1 is installed. All
installation notices pertaining to the installation of WAFER-KBN-i1
should be strictly adhered to. Failing to adhere to these precautions
may lead to severe damage of the WAFER-KBN-i1 and injury to the
person installing the motherboard.
