2.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during installation may result in
permanent damage to the MCX-CM210 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the MCX-CM210. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the MCX-CM210 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 MCX-CM210, place it on
an anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
MCX-CM210.
2.2 Unpacking Precautions
When the MCX-CM210 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 MCX-CM210 does
not fall out of the box.
▪Make sure all the components shown in Section 2.3 are present.
