2.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING!
Static electricity can destroy certain electronics. Make sure to follow the
ESD precautions to prevent damage to the product, and injury to the
user.
Make sure to adhere to the following guidelines:
Wear an anti-static wristband: Wearing an anti-static wristband can prevent
electrostatic discharge.
Self-grounding : Touch a grounded conductor every few minutes to discharge
any excess static buildup.
Use an anti-static pad : When configuring any circuit board, place it on an
anti-static mat.
Only handle the edges of the PCB : Don't touch the surface of the
motherboard. Hold the motherboard by the edges when handling.
2.2 Unpacking Precautions
When the IMBA-C2160 is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the antistatic guidelines above.
Make sure the packing box is facing upwards whe n opening.
Make sure all the packing list items are present.
