Ground your workplace with e.g. anti-static mats and ground yourself with a wrist strap. Only use conductive tools when working
on the MBox-R/-V/-VH-E39. Always handle electrostatic sensitive components at their edges, preferably wear conductive gloves.
Remove the power cord from the MBox-R/-V/-VH-E39 before inserting or removing connectors or before inserting or removing
add-on cards. Don’t touch the contacts of connectors. Keep you work environment tidy and free of non-conductive materials.
