3.1 Anti-static Precautions

WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the WAFER-8522 may result in permanent damage to the WAFER-8522 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components, including the WAFER-8522. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore critical that whenever the WAFER-8522, or any other electrical component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
WAFER-8522 Motherboard
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
material. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch any conducting materials that are connected to the ground.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring the WAFER-8522, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the WAFER-8522.
Only handle the edges of the PCB:-: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.

3.2 Unpacking

3.2.1 Unpacking Precautions

When the WAFER-8522 is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the anti-static precautions outlined in Section 3.1.

5.1 Anti-static Precautions

WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the WAFER-8522 may result in permanent damage to the WAFER-8522 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components, including the WAFER-8522. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore critical that whenever the WAFER-8522, or any other electrical component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
WAFER-8522 Motherboard
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
material. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch any conducting materials that are connected to the ground.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring the WAFER-8522, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the WAFER-8522.
Only handle the edges of the PCB:-: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.

WAFER-8522 Motherboard

5.2 Installation Considerations

NOTE:
The following installation notices and installation considerations should be read and understood before the WAFER-8522 is installed. All installation notices pertaining to the installation of the WAFER-8522 should be strictly adhered to. Failing to adhere to these precautions may lead to severe damage of the WAFER-8522 and injury to the person installing the motherboard.

5.2.1 Installation Notices

WARNING:
The installation instructions described in this manual should be carefully followed in order to prevent damage to the WAFER-8522, WAFER-8522 components and injury to the user.
Before and during the installation please DO the following:
Read the user manual:
o The user manual provides a complete description of the WAFER-8522
installation instructions and configuration options.
Wear an electrostatic discharge cuff (ESD):
o Electronic components are easily damaged by ESD. Wearing an ESD cuff
removes ESD from the body and helps prevent ESD damage.
Place the WAFER-85 22 on an antistatic pad:
o When installing or configuring the motherboard, place it on an antistatic
pad. This helps to prevent potential ESD damage.

5.4 Jumper Settings

NOTE:
A jumper is a met al bridge t hat is used to close an electrical circuit. It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To CLOSE/SHORT a jumper means connecting the pins of the jumper with the plastic clip and to OPEN a jumper means removing the plastic clip from a jumper.
Before the WAFER-8522 is installed in the system, the jumpers must be set in accordance with the desired configuration. The jumpers on the WAFER-8522 are listed in
