Notes on safety

Modules with electrostatic-sensitive components

Systems and components that might be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD) are marked with the following label:

Figure 1: ESD label

When you handle components fitted with ESDs, you must observe the following points under all circumstances:

You must always discharge yourself of static charges (e.g. by touching a grounded object) before working.

The equipment and tools you use must be free of static charges.

Remove the power plug from the power socket before inserting or removing boards containing ESDs.

Always hold boards with ESDs by their edges.

Never touch pins or conductors on boards fitted with ESDs.

Use a grounding cable designed for this purpose to connect yourself to the system unit as you install/deinstall the board.

Place all components on a static-safe base.

IYou will find a detailed description for handling ESD components in the relevant European or international standards (EN 61340-5-1, ANSI/ESD S20.20).
