Handling the Board
When handling the board, it is important to observe the following static discharge
precaution:
c Without proper anti-static handling, the board can be damaged. Therefore, use
anti-static handling precautions when touching the board.
The Stratix V GT transceiver signal integrity development board must be stored
between –40º C and 100º C. The recommended operating temperature is between 0º C
and 55º C.
