Safety precautions
Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord
from your board whenever you are working on it.
Do not make connections while the power is on,
because sensitive electronic components can be
damaged by a sudden rush of power.
Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static
charge before touching the board. Modern elec-
tronic devices are very sensitive to static elec-
tric charges. Use a grounding wrist strap at all
times. Place all electronic components on a
static-dissipative surface or in a static-shielded
bag when they are not in use.
