Installing the Expansion Board in Your Product

Cautions when installing

• Before you install this expansion board (hereafter referred to as “the

board”), you should carefully read the procedure for installing
expansion boards given in the owner’s manual of the product in which
you’re installing it.

• To avoid the risk of damage to internal components that can be

caused by static electricity, please carefully observe the following
whenever you handle the board.

• Before you touch the board, always first grasp a metal object, so

you are sure that any static electricity you might have been
carrying has been discharged.

• When handling the board, grasp it only by its edges. Avoid

touching any of the electronic components or connectors.

• Save the bag in which the board was originally shipped, and put

the board back into it whenever you need to store or transport it.

• Do not touch any of the printed circuit pathways or connection

terminals.

• Never use excessive force when installing a circuit board. If it doesn’t

fit properly on the first attempt, remove the board and try again.

• When circuit board installation is complete, double-check your work.
