Configuring the W6-LI

Although the W6-LI system board is packaged in protec- tive materials, it is important to use care while unpack- ing and setting up.

Static Electricity

The W6-LI is shipped from the factory in an antistatic bag. To reduce the possibility of damage, it is important to neutralize any accumulated static charges on your body before handling the board. The best way to do this is to ground yourself using a special wrist or ankle strap. If you do not have a strap, you should touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object. After you have grounded yourself, ground the W6-LI via the solder pads surrounding one of its mounting holes.

Once the W6-LI is removed from its packaging, place it on top of the antistatic bag. Carefully inspect the board for damage which may have occurred during shipment.

Environment Considerations

Make sure the finished computer system is in an area with good ventilation. The system should not be in direct sunlight, near heaters, or exposed to moisture, dust or dirt.
