3.1 Anti-static Precautions

WARNING:

Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the device

may result in permanent damage to the device and severe injury to the

user.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,

including the AFL-HM55. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore

critical that whenever the AFL-HM55 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

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 AFL-HM55, place it on an

antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the device.

 Only handle the edges of the PCB: - When handling the PCB, hold the PCB

by the edges.

3.2 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

configure the jumpers or plug in added peripheral devices, ground themselves

first and wear and anti-static wristband.
