Inspect for damage
Step 1: Unpack and Inspect the Module
The module is shipped in materials which prevent damage from static. The module should only be
removed from the packaging in an anti-static area ensuring that correct anti-static precautions are
taken. Store all modules in anti-static envelopes when not in use.
ESD Precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy
electronic components. Use a static-safe work station to
perform all work on electronic assemblies. The figure (left)
shows a static-safe work station using two types of ESD
protection: conductive table-mat and wrist-strap
combination, and conductive floor-mat and heel-strap
combination. Both types, when used together, provide a
significant level of ESD protection. Of the two, only the
table-mat and wrist-strap combination provides adequate
ESD protection when used alone. To ensure user safety, the
static-safe accessories must provide at least 1 MΩ of
isolation from ground.
