2.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during installation may result in
permanent damage to the TANGO-7010 Series and severe injury to
the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the TANGO-7010 Series. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the TANGO-7010 Series 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 TANGO-7010 Series, place it
on an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
TANGO-7010 Series.
2.2 Unpacking Precautions
When the TANGO-7010 Series is unpacked, please do the following:
▪Follow the anti-static precautions outlined in Section 2.1.
▪Make sure the packing box is facing upwards so the TANGO-7010 Series
does not fall out of the box.
▪Make sure all the components shown in Section 2.2 are present.
