2.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING!
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
NOVA-945GSE may result in permanent damage to the
NOVA-945GSE and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the NOVA-945GSE. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the NOVA-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
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 NOVA-945GSE, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
NOVA-945GSE.
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 NOVA-945GSE is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the anti-static precautions outlined in Section 52.1.
Make sure the packing box is facing upwards so the NOVA-945G SE does not
fall out of the box.
Make sure all the components shown in Section 52.3 are present.
