4.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
If the following anti-static precautions are not followed, a user may be
injured and the system irreparably damaged.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the motherboard and the power module. (Dry climates are especially susceptible
to ESD.) It is therefore critical that whenever the ECK-161B is opened and any electrical
component 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.
