SBC35-C398/Before You Begin
v1.0 www.winsystems.com Page 3
4. Before You Begin
Review the warnings in this section and the best practice recommendations (see “Best
Practices” on page 42) when using and handling the WinSystems SBC35-C398.
Adherence to these recommendations provides an optimal user experience and
prevents damage. Read through this document and become familiar with the SBC35-
C398 before proceeding.
4.1 Warnings
Only qualified personnel should configure and install the SBC35-C398. While observing
the best practices, pay particular attention to the following:
FAILING TO COMPLY WITH THESE BEST PRACTICES MAY DAMAGE THE
SBC35-C398 AND VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
Avoid Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Only handle the circuit board and other bare electronics when electrostatic discharge
(ESD) protection is in place. Having a wrist strap and a fully grounded workstation is
the minimum ESD protection required before the ESD seal on the product bag is
broken.
Before supplying voltage to pin 49 of J5, remove any jumper installed on JP1.
Damage to the board may occur if you apply a voltage to pin 49 of J1 while a jumper
is installed on JP1.
