CAUTION! The VCU118 board can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Follow standard ESD
prevention measures when handling the board.
Electrostatic Discharge Caution
CAUTION! ESD can damage electronic components when they are improperly handled, and can result
in total or intermittent failures. Always follow ESD-prevention procedures when removing and
replacing components.
To prevent ESD damage:
• Use an ESD wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes skin contact. Connect the
equipment end of the strap to an unpainted metal surface on the chassis.
• Avoid touching the adapter against your clothing. The wrist strap protects components
from ESD on the body only.
• Handle the adapter by its bracket or edges only. Avoid touching the printed circuit board
or the connectors.
• Put the adapter down only on an antistatic surface such as the bag supplied in your kit.
