ISCHARGE
CAUTION:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage circuit boards, disk drives, and other
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 antistatic envelope during
shipment or storage.

EQUIREMENT
CAUTION:
All mounting standoffs should be connected to earth ground (chassis ground). This
provides proper grounding for EMI purposes.
