3.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the IMB-Q354
may result in permanent damage to the IMB-Q354 and severe injury to
the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the IMB-Q354. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical that whenever the IMB-Q354, or any other electrical component is handled, the
following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
IMB-Q354 uATX Motherboard
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 IMB-Q354, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the IMB-Q354.
Only handle the edges of the PCB: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
3.2 Unpacking
3.2.1 Unpacking Precautions
When the IMB-Q354 is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the anti-static precautions outlined in Section 3.1.
Make sure the packing box is facing upwards so the IMB-Q354 does not fall
Page 42
out of the box.
Make sure all the components shown in Section 3.3 are present.

5.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the IMB-Q354
may result in permanent damage to the IMB-Q354 and severe injury to
the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the IMB-Q354. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical that whenever the IMB-Q354, or any other electrical component is handled, the
following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
IMB-Q354 uATX Motherboard
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 IMB-Q354, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the IMB-Q354.
Only handle the edges of the PCB: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
