Unpacking,
Inspection
and
Handling
Please read the manual carefully before unpacking the module or mounting the device into your system. Keep
in mind the following:
ESD Sensitive Device!
Electronic modules and their components are sensitive to static electricity.
Even a non-perceptible by human being static discharge can be sufficient
to destroy or degrade a component's operation! Therefore, all handling
operations and inspections of this product must be performed with due
care, in order to keep product integrity and operability:
Preferably, unpack or pack this product only at EOS/ESD safe workplaces. Otherwise, it is
important to be electrically discharged before touching the product. This can be done by touching
a metal part of your system case with your hand or tool. It is particularly important
to observe anti-static precautions when setting jumpers or replacing components.
If the product contains batteries for RTC or memory back-up, ensure that the module is not
placed on conductive surfaces, including anti-static mats or sponges. This can cause short-circuit
and result in damage to the battery and other components.
Store this product in its protective packaging while it is not used for operational purposes.
Unpacking
The product is carefully packed in an antistatic bag and in a carton box to protect it against possible damage
and harmful influence during shipping. Unpack the product indoors only at a temperature not less than +15°C
and relative humidity not more than 70%. Please note, that if the product was exposed to the temperatures
below 0°
С
for a long time, it is necessary to keep it at normal conditions for at least 24 hours before
unpacking. Do not keep the product close to a heat source.
Following ESD precautions, carefully take the product out of the shipping carton box. Proper handling of the
product is critical to ensure correct operation and long-term reliability. When unpacking the product, and
whenever handling it thereafter, be sure to hold the module preferably by the front panel, card edges or
ejector handles. Avoid touching the components and connectors.
Retain all original packaging at least until the warranty period is over. You may need it for shipments or for
storage of the product.
Initial Inspection
Although the product is carefully packaged, it is still possible that shipping damages may occur. Careful
inspection of the shipping carton can reveal evidence of damage or rough handling. Should you notice that
the package is damaged, please notify the shipping service and the manufacturer as soon as possible. Retain
the damaged packing material for inspection.
After unpacking the product, you should inspect it for visible damage that could have occurred during shipping
or unpacking. If damage is observed (usually in the form of bent component leads or loose socketed
components), contact Fastwel's official distributor from which you have purchased the product for additional
instructions. Depending on the severity of the damage, the product may even need to be returned to the
factory for repair. DO NOT apply power to the product if it has visible damage. Doing so may cause further,
possibly irreparable damage, as well as result in a fire or electric shock hazard.
If the product contains socketed components, they should be inspected to make sure they are seated fully in
their sockets.
