3.1 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.
3.2 Unpacking Precautions
When the IVCE-C608/IVCE-C604/IVCME-C604 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.

5.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
IVCE-C608/IVCE-C604/IVCME-C604 may result in permanent damage
to the IVCE-C608/IVCE-C604/IVCME-C604 and severe injury to the
user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the IVCE-C608/IVCE-C604/IVCME-C604. Dry climates are especially
susceptible to ESD. It is therefore critical that whenever the
IVCE-C608/IVCE-C604/IVCME-C604, or any other electrical component is handled, the
following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
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
IVCE-C608/IVCE-C604/IVCME-C604, place it on an antic-static pad. This
reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
IVCE-C608/IVCE-C604/IVCME-C604.
Only handle the edges of the PCB: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.

be read and understood before installation. All installation notices must
be strictly adhered to. Failing to adhere to these precautions may lead
to severe damage and injury to the person performing the installation.
WARNING:
The installation instructions described in this manual should be
carefully followed in order to prevent damage to the components and
injury to the user.
Before and during the installation please DO the following:
Read the user manual:
o The user manual provides a complete description of the
IVCE-C608/IVCE-C604/IVCME-C604 installation instructions and

removes ESD from the body and helps prevent ESD damage.
Place the IVCE-C608/IVCE-C604/IVCME-C604 on an antistatic pad:
o When installing or configuring the motherboard, place it on an antistatic
pad. This helps to prevent potential ESD damage.
Turn all power to the IVCE-C608/IVCE-C604/IVCME-C604 off:
Page 14
o When working with the IVCE-C608/IVCE-C604/IVCME-C604, make sure
that it is disconnected from all power supplies and that no electricity is
being fed into the system.
Before and during the installation of the IVCE-C608/IVCE-C604/IVCME-C604 DO NOT:
IVCE-C608/IVCE-C604/IVCME-C604 Capture Card
