2.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the AUPS
Series may result in permanent damage to the AUPS Series and
severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the AUPS Series. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical that whenever the AUPS Series, or any other electrical component is handled, the
following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
AUPS Series Power Module User Manual
Wear an anti-static wristband: Wearing a simple an ti-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 AUPS Series, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the A UPS
Series.
Only handle the edges of the PCB: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
2.2 Unpacking
2.2.1 Unpacking Precautions
When the AUPS Series is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the anti-static precautions outlined in Section
2.1.
