In 2003, the European Union issued Directive 2002/95/EC regarding the Restriction of the use of
certain Hazardous Substances (RoHS) in electrical and electronic equipment.
The RoHS directive requires producers of electrical and electronic equipment to reduce to
acceptable levels the presence of six environmentally sensitive substances: lead, mercury,
cadmium, hexavalent chromium, and the presence of polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and
polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) flame retardants, in certain electrical and electronic
products sold in the European Union (EU) beginning July 1, 2006.
VersaLogic Corporation is committed to supporting customers with high-quality products and
services meeting the European Union’s RoHS directive.

ISCHARGE
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage board components. The circuit board must only be
handled at an ESD workstation. If an approved station is not available, some measure of
protection can be provided by wearing a grounded antistatic wrist strap. Keep all plastic away
from the board, and do not slide the board over any surface.
After removing the board from its protective wrapper, place the board on a grounded, static-free
surface, component side up. Use an antistatic foam pad if available.
The board should also be protected inside a closed metallic anti-static envelope during shipment
or storage.
