Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
PM-945GSE-N270 may result in permanent damage to the
PM-945GSE-N270 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the PM-945GSE-N270. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the PM-945GSE-N270 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
PM-945GSE-N270 User Manual
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 PM-945GSE-N270, place it on
an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
PM-945GSE-N270.
Only handle the edges of the PCB: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
2.2 Unpacking Precautions
When the PM-945GSE-N270 is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the anti-static precautions outlined in Section 2.1.
Make sure the packing box is facing upwards so the PM-945GSE-N270 does
not fall out of the box.
Make sure all the components shown in Section 2.3 are present.
