Always use an anti-static wrist strap connected to a grounding mat having static-
dissipating characteristics and is attached to earth ground.
4) Select workbench location
• The workbench location should be flat, clear of debris, and have a
static-free mat (or the equivalent) to place the LittleBoard 550
assembly onto for setup and operation (including the power
supply and any peripherals).
5) Connect an ESD strap to
your body
• Connect an ESD strap between your body (wrist or ankle) and ground
or the static-free mat.
If you do not have your own ESD strap, an ESD kit is provided in
the QuickStart Kit with an anti-static wrist strap.

accessories.
• Remove the LittleBoard 550 from its protective plastic case and
place it on static-free work surface with the preinstalled memory.

and place it on static-free work surface. The external connections
on the I/O Interface board, such as keyboard, mouse, etc. are used
