Warning:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage several components on the board. To avoid such damage in handling the board, take the following precautions:
Bring the device and everything that contacts it to ground potential by providing a conductive surface and discharge paths. As a minimum, observe these precautions:
●
●
●
Disconnect all power and signal sources.
Place the device on a grounded conductive work surface.
Ground yourself via a grounding wrist strap or by holding a grounded object.
●Ground any tool that will contact the device.
