Before You Begin
Precautions in Handling and Storage
Static electricity can permanently damage your Vanguard.
Prevent electrostatic damage by taking proper precautions.
•
Make sure your body is grounded when coming into contact with
the board by wearing
an
anti-static wrist strap.
•
If an anti-static wrist strap is not available, touch a grounded
surface, such as the bare metal chassis, before touching the
Vanguard.
•
Only leave the board on surfaces with controlled static
characteristics, i.e. specially designed anti-static table covers.
•
When handing the board to another person, first touch this
person’s hand, wrist etc. to discharge any static potential.
•
Always store the board in an anti-static bag or other static
resistant container.
•
If an electric screwdriver is used, it should be grounded and
shielded to prevent sparks.
Note –
You should also inspect the board to verify that no
mechanical damage has occurred. Please report any discrepancies
or damage to your distributor or to VMETRO immediately.
