3.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING!
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
WAFER-945GSE may result in permanent damage to the
WAFER-945GSE and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the WAFER-945GSE. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the WAFER-945GSE, 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 WAFER-945GSE, place it on
an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
WAFER-945GSE.
 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 WAFER-945GSE is unpacked, please do the following:
 Follow the anti-static precautions outlined in Section 763H721H3.1.
 Make sure the packing box is facing upwards so the WAFER-945GSE does
not fall out of the box.
 Make sure all the components shown in Section 764H722H3.3 are present.
