4.1 Anti-s tatic Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the IMB-H610
may result in perm anent da mage to the IMB-H610 and severe injury to
the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the IMB-H610. Dry clim ates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical that whenever the IMB-H610 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.
