Static electricity can destroy certain electronics. Make sure to follow the ESD precautions to prevent damage to the product, and injury to the user.

Make sure to adhere to the following guidelines:

 Wear an anti-static wristband: Wearing an anti-static wristband can prevent

electrostatic discharge.

 Self-grounding: Touch a grounded conductor every few minutes to discharge

any excess static buildup.

WAFER-ULT3/ULT4 3.5" SBC

 Use an anti-static pad: When configuring any circuit board, place it on an

anti-static mat.

 Only handle the edges of the PCB: Don't touch the surface of the

motherboard. Hold the motherboard by the edges when handling.

2.2 Unpacking Precautions

When the WAFER-ULT3/ULT4 is unpacked, please do the following:

 Follow the anti-static guidelines above.  Make sure the packing box is facing upwards whe n opening.  Make sure all the packing list items are present.

4.1 Anti-static Precautions

WARNING:

Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the WAFER-ULT3/ULT4 may result in permanent damage to the WAFER-ULT3/ULT4 and severe injury to the user.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components, including the WAFER-ULT3/ULT4. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore critical that whenever the WAFER-ULT3/ULT4 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 WA FER-ULT3/ULT4, place it

on an anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the WAFER-ULT3/ULT4.

 Only handle the edges of the PCB:-: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB

by the edges.

4.2 Installation Considerations

NOTE:

The following installation notices and installation considerations should be read and understood before installation. All installation notices must be strictly adhered to. Failing to adhere to these precautions may lead to severe damage and injury to the person performing the installation.

Page 47

Page 61

WAFER-ULT3/ULT4 3.5" SBC

WARNING:

The installation instructions described in this manual should be carefully followed in order to prevent damage to the components and injury to the user.

Before and during the installation please DO the following:

 Read the user manual:

o The user manual provides a complete description of the

WAFER-ULT3/ULT4 installation instructions and configuration options.

 Wear an electrostatic discharge cuff (ESD):

o Electronic components are easily damaged by ESD. Wearing an ESD cuff

removes ESD from the body and helps prevent ESD damage.

 Place the WAFER-ULT3/ULT4 on an anti-static pad:

o When installing or configuring the motherboard, place it on an anti-static

pad. This helps to prevent potential ESD damage.

 Turn all power to the WAFER-ULT3/ULT4 off:

o When working with the WAFER-ULT3/ULT4, make sure that it is
