Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components, including the KINO-945GSE. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore critical that whenever the KINO-945GSE, 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
KINO-945GSE Motherboard
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 KINO-945GSE, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the KINO-945GSE.
Only handle the edges of the PCB:- When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
