2.1 Safety Precautions

Always completely disconnect the power cord

from your board whenever you are working on

it. Do not make connections while the power is

on, because a sudden rush of power can

damage sensitive electronic components.

Always ground yourself to remove any static

charge before touching the board. Modern

electronic devices are very sensitive to static

electric charges. Use a grounding wrist strap at

all times. Place all electronic components on a

static-dissipative surface or in a static-shielded

bag when they are not in the chassis
