3.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the GRAND-RE
may result in permanent damage to the GRAND-RE 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-RE 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-RE, place it on an
anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the GRAND-RE.
