Handling Instructions
The handling and usage instructions stated herein are general guidelines for board-level products.
Individual board-level products may have additional instructions and requirements in the applicable
product specification, which should be consulted.
• Complete all handling at an electrostatic discharge (ESD)-safe workstation with ESD-safe tools. The
workstation and tools must comply with IPC-A-610 at a minimum or ANSI/ESD S20.20.
• Handle the base board by the edges. Do not handle the board by the bracket, heat sinks, or any
installed daughter board or DIMM.
• Do not stack boards after removing them from their shipping containers. Place boards on a flat,
ESD
-safe surface with the top side of the board up to prevent damage to the heat sink.
• Do not bend or twist the board at any time. Any stress that exceeds 500 micro-strain, or
500 micro
-inches of deflection per inch of board material in any direction, could damage the board.
Broadcom follows the IPC/JEDEC-9704 industry standard.
• When installing the board in a system, press down evenly on the top corners of the base board to
avoid contact with brackets, heat sinks, or any installed daughter board or DIMM.
• When installing cables, align the cable with the board-mounted connector. Do not force the cable
into the connector, and orient any polarized cables properly.
• Disconnect the power before removing or replacing the board.
• Do not allow any fluid or any material that is conductive or corrosive to contact the board.
