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.
Electrostatic Discharge (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.
DO NOT use these techniques for a static-safe work station when working on
circuitry with a voltage potential greater than 500 volts.
Inspect for Damage
After unpacking a module, inspect it for any shipping damage. Report any damage to
the shipping agent immediately, as such damage is not covered by the warranty (see
warranty information at beginning of this document).
To avoid damage when handling a module, do not touch any exposed
components or connector pins.
