5.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the MXGD
may result in permanent damage to the MXGD and severe injury to the
user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the MXGD. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore critical
that whenever the MXGD, or any other electrical component is handled, the following
anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
 Wear an anti-static wristband: - Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.
 Self-grounding:- Before handling the board touch any grounded conducting
material. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch any
conducting materials that are connected to the ground.
 Use an anti-static pad: When configuring the MXGD, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the MXGD.
 Only handle the edges of the PCB:-: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
