2.1 Anti-s tatic Precautions
WARNING!
Static electricity can destroy certain electronics. Make sure to follow the
ESD precautions to preve nt damage to the product, and injur y 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: T ouch 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-C604EN is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the antistatic guidelines above.
Make sure the packing box is facing upwards when opening.
