Caution:
The development kit is shipped as an open system to provide flexibility in changing
hardware configurations and peripherals in a lab environment. Since the board is not in a
protective chassis, the user is required to take the following safety precautions in handling
and operating the board.
1.
The power supply cord is the main disconnect device to main power (AC power).
The socket outlet should be installed near the equipment and should be readily
accessible.
2.
To avoid shock, ensure that the power cord is connected to a properly wired and
grounded receptacle.
3.
Ensure that any equipment to which this product will be attached is also
connected to properly wired and grounded receptacles.
4.
Use a flame retardant work surface
5.
Ensure a static-free work environment before removing any components from
their anti-static packaging. Wear an ESD wrist strap when handling the
development board or other development kit components. The development
board is susceptible to electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, and such damage
may cause product failure or unpredictable operation.
