3.1 Electrostatic Discharge Warning
3.2 Connecting the Hardware
www.ti.com Serial-Bus-EVM Hardware Setup
Many of the components on the Serial-Bus-EVM are susceptible to damage by electrostatic discharge
(ESD). Customers are advised to observe proper ESD handling precautions when unpacking and handling
the EVM, including the use of a grounded wrist strap at an approved ESD workstation.
CAUTION
Failure to observe ESD handling procedures may result in damage to EVM
components.
To connect the two PCBs of the Serial-Bus-EVM together, gently push on both sides of the D-SUB
connectors (as shown in Figure 3 ). Make sure that the two connectors are completely pushed together;
loose connections may cause intermittent operation.
