CHAPTER 4 INSTALLATION
4.1 ANTI-STATIC PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the PC Series-N270 may result in permanent damage to the PC Series-N270 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic compo­nents, including the PC Series-N270. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore critical that whenever the PC Series-N270 is accessed internally, 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 mate
rial. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch any conducting materi als that are connected to the ground.
" Use an anti-static pad: - When configuring the PC Series-N270, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the PC Series­N270.
" Only handle the edges of the PCB: - When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
4.2 INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
When installing the flat panel PC, please follow the precautions listed below: " Power turned off: When installing the flat panel PC, make sure the power is off.
Failing to turn off the power may cause severe injury to the body and/or damage to the system.
" Certified Engineers: Only certified engineers should install and modify onboard
functionalities.
" Anti-static Discharge: If a user open the rear panel of the flat panel PC, to config
ure the jumpers or plug in added peripheral devices, ground themselves first and wear and anti-static wristband.
