3.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the
AFL-F08A-N270 may result in permanent damage to the
AFL-F08A-N270 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the AFL-F08A-N270. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the AFL-F08A-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
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-F08A-N270, place it on
an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
AFL-F08A-N270.
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.
