3.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the
IKARPC-07A-A9 may result in permanent damage to the
IKARPC-07A-A9 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the IKARPC-07A-A9. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the IKARPC-07A-A9 is accessed internally, 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 IKARPC-07A-A9, place it on an
anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
IKARPC-07A-A9.
 Only handle the edges of the PCB: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
