3.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the
GRAND-C610-20C
may result in permanent damage to the
GRAND-C610-20C and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the WAFER series motherboard and the power module. (Dry climates are
especially susceptible to ESD.) It is therefore critical that whenever the
GRAND-C610-20C is opened and any electrical component 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 GRAND-C610-20C, place it on
an anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
GRAND-C610-20C.
3.2 Installation Precautions
During installation, be aware of the precautions below:
Read the user manual: The user manual provides a complete description of
the GRAND-C610-20C, installation instructions and configuration options.
DANGER! Disconnect Power: Power to the GRAND-C610-20C must be
disconnected during the installation process. Failing to disconnect the power
may cause severe injury to the body and/or damage to the system.
Qualified Personnel: The GRAND-C610-20C must be installed and operated
only by trained and qualified personnel. Maintenance, upgrades, or repairs
