5.1 Anti-static Precautions

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,

including the WAFER-LX. (Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD.) It is therefore

critical that whenever the WAFER-LX (or any other electrical component) is handled, the

following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.

Wear an anti-static wrist band

: - Wearing a simple anti-static wrist band 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.

5.2 Installation Considerations

NOTE:

The following installation notices and installation considerations should

be read and understood before the motherboard is installed. All

installation notices pertaining to the installation of the motherboard

should be strictly adhered to. Failing to adhere to these precautions

may lead to severe damage of the motherboard and injury to the

person installing the motherboard.

5.2.1 Installation Notices

Before and during the installation of the WAFER-LX, please

the following:

Read the user manual:

The user manual provides a complete description of the WAFER-LX,

installation instructions and configuration options.

Wear an electrostatic discharge cuff (ESD):

Electronic components are easily damaged by ESD. Wearing an ESD cuff

removes ESD from the body and helps prevent ESD damage.

Place the motherboard on an antistatic pad:
