4.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
AESQ170-969 may result in permanent damage to the AESQ170-
969 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic
components, including the AESQ170-969. Dry climates are especially
susceptible to ESD. It is therefore critical that whenever the AESQ170-969 or
any other electrical component is handled, the following anti-static precautions
are strictly adhered to.
Wear an anti-static wristband:
- Wearing a simple anti-static
wristband can help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.
Self-grounding:
- Before handling the board touch any grounded
conducting material. During the time the board is handled, frequently
touch any conducting materials that are connected to the ground.
Use an anti-static pad:
- When configuring the AESQ170-969,
place it on an anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD
damaging the AESQ170-969.
Only handle the edges of the PCB:
- When handling the PCB, hold
the PCB by the edges.
4.2 Installation Considerations
NOTE:
The following installation notices and installation considerations
should be read and understood before installation. All installation
notices must be strictly adhered to. Failing to adhere to these
precautions may lead to severe damage and injury to the person
performing the installation.
