13.1 ESD Warning
Electronic components and circuits are sensitive to ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD). When handling
any circuit boards including Connect Tech PC/104 boards, it is recommended that ESD safety
precautions be observed. ESD safe best practices include, but are not limited to:
Leaving circuit boards in their antistatic packaging until they are ready to be installed.
Using a grounded wrist strap when handling circuit boards, at a minimum you should
touch a grounded metal object to dissipate any static charge that may be present on you.
Only handling circuit boards in ESD safe areas, which may include ESD floor and table
mats, wrist strap stations and ESD safe lab coats.
Avoiding handling circuit boards in carpeted areas.
Try to handle the board by the edges, avoiding contact with components.
13.2 Installing Xtreme/104-Plus or Xtreme/104PCI Cards Into Your System

position in the PCIe/104 or PC/104-
Plus
stack, and set the ID jumpers or rotary switch
accordingly (see
ID Selection
). Insert the Xtreme/104-
Plus
or Xtreme/104 Express adapter and
