Operation of Laser Source Devices
Laser!
Risk of exposure to laser beam and light emitting devices (LEDs) from DVD
•
Do not open DVD drive due to invisible laser radiation
•
Check manufacture instructions eye protection maybe required
The optional DVD drive contain light-emitting diodes (LEDs) (classified in accordance with IEC 60825-1:2007: LASER
CLASS 1) and therefore must not be opened. If the enclosure of such a drive is opened, invisible laser radiation is
emitted. Do not allow yourself to be exposed to this radiation.
The laser system meets the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Title 21, 1040 -Performance standards for light-
emitting products.
1.2.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
A sudden discharge of electrostatic electricity can destroy static-sensitive devices.
Proper packaging and grounding techniques are necessary precautions to prevent damage. Always take the following
precautions:
1.
Transport boards in ESD-safe containers such as boxes or bags.
2.
Keep electrostatic sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at the ESD-safe workplace.
3.
Always be properly grounded when touching a sensitive board, component, or assembly.
4.
Store electrostatic-sensitive boards in protective packaging or on antistatic mats.
1.2.1.
Grounding Methods
By adhering to the guidelines below, electrostatic damage to the product can be avoided:
1.
Cover workstations with approved antistatic material. Always wear a wrist strap connected to workplace. Always
use properly grounded tools and equipment.
2.
Use antistatic mats, heel straps, or air ionizers for more protection.
3.
Always handle electrostatically sensitive components by their edge or by their casing.
4.
Avoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry.
5.
Switch off the power and input signals before inserting and removing connectors or connecting test equipment.
6.
Keep work area free of non-conductive materials such as ordinary plastic assembly aids and Styrofoam.
7.
Use only field service tools that are conductive, such as cutters, screwdrivers, and vacuum cleaners.
8.
Always place drives and boards PCB-assembly-side down on the foam.
