Do the following when handling the CoreModule 420 and its related DiskOnChip:

Always use an anti-static wrist/ankle strap and a grounding mat.

Before you handle the CoreModule 420 or remove the DiskOnChip from the anti- static package, touch a grounded, unpainted metal surface to discharge any static electricity.
