ESD Precautions Integrated circuits on computer boards are sensitive to static electricity. To avoid damaging chips from electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions: • Do not remove boards or integrated circuits from their anti-static packaging until you are ready to install them. • Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted portion of the system unit chassis for a few seconds. This helps to discharge any static electricity on your body.
Unpacking The FPC-8057 is packed in an anti-static bag. The product has components that are easily damaged by static electricity. Do not remove the anti-static wrapping until proper precautions have been taken. Safety instructions in front of this User’s Manual describe anti-static precautions and procedures. After unpacking the product, place it on a raised surface and carefully inspect the board for any damage that might have occurred during shipment.
