2.2.3 Installing the Board
Before Installation
Since the board is vulnerable to electro-static discharge (ESD), you need adhere to the
following regulations while handling the board:
Ground the device as required.
Always wear an antistatic wrist strap during the operation.
Tighten the wrist strap around your wrist skin, and attach the other end of the wrist strap
to the grounding point of the equipment, as shown in Figure 2-4.
Figure 2-4 Wearing an antistatic wrist strap
Check the validity and functionality of the wrist strap. Its resistance should range from
0.75 megohms to 10 megohms. If the validity period (usually two years) of the wrist
strap expires or the resistance value does not meet the requirement, use a new antistatic
wrist strap.
An antistatic wrist strap cannot protect the board from the static electricity generated
when the board touches your clothes. Therefore, any contact between the board and
clothes should be prevented.
When you replace the board software or chipset, you need to use an antistatic mat. When
you pick up or plug/unplug the chipset, use antistatic nippers and a chipset extractor. The
chipsets or pins on the printed circuit board (PCB) should never be touched with bare
hands.
Keep the boards and other ESD sensitive parts to be installed in static shielding bags.
Place the removed boards and components on an antistatic mat or other antistatic
materials. Do not use non-antistatic materials such as white foams, common plastic bags,
or paper bags to pack boards or contact boards with these materials.
Wear an antistatic wrist strap when operating the ports of boards because they are also
ESD-sensitive. Discharge the static electricity of cables and protective sleeves before
connecting them to the ports.

Reserve some materials for packing the boards (such as antistatic boxes and bags) in the
room and storing them for future use.
Installing the Board
Step 1 Remove the filler panel, if there is a filler panel on the slot.
If only one board is installed on the MCU, the blank panels of other slots must be installed.
The slots cannot be exposed. Otherwise, the heat dissipation and electromagnetic shielding
effect of the 8650 MCU will be influenced.
Step 2 Hold the ejector levers outwards in a horizontal manner, as shown in picture A in Figure 2-5.
Insert the board smoothly along the slot guide rail until the locating pin on the front panel is
placed in the pin locating hole on the frame.
Figure 2-5 Installing the board of the MCU
Do not move the board by holding the ejector levers; otherwise, the board may be damaged
due to the falling of the ejector levers.
Step 3 Press the ejector levers inwards until the inner sides of the ejector levers contact the front end
of the frame. See picture B in Figure 2-5 respectively.
Step 4 Fix the screws with a screwdriver. See picture C in Figure 2-5 respectively.
