2.1 Unpacking
2.1.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the video
capture card may result in permanent damage to the capture card and
severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the video capture card. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the video capture card, 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 video capture card, place it on
an anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the video
capture card.
Only handle the edges of the PCB: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
2.1.2 Unpacking Precautions
When the video capture card is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the anti-static precautions outlined in Section 2.1.1.
Make sure the packing box is facing upwards so the video capture card does
not fall out of the box.
Make sure all the components listed in Section 2.1.3 are present.
