_______________________________________________________________________

WARNING: This product has components which may be damaged by electrostatic discharge.

_______________________________________________________________________

To protect your single board computer (SBC) from electrostatic damage, be sure to observe the following precautions when handling or storing the board:

•Keep the SBC in its static-shielded bag until you are ready to perform your installation.

•Handle the SBC by its edges.

•Do not touch the I/O connector pins. Do not apply pressure or attach labels to the SBC.

•Use a grounded wrist strap at your workstation or ground yourself frequently by touching the metal chassis of the system before handling any components. The system must be plugged into an outlet that is connected to an earth ground.

•Use antistatic padding on all work surfaces.

•Avoid static-inducing carpeted areas.

This SBC has components on both sides of the PCB. It is important for you to observe the following precautions when handling or storing the board to prevent solder-side components from being damaged or broken off:

•Handle the board only by its edges.

•Store the board in padded shipping material or in an anti-static board rack.

•Do not place an unprotected board on a flat surface.
