FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN INJURY

Handling precautions for electrostatic sensitive devices

Certain devices used in electronic equipment can be damaged by electrostatic discharges

resulting from built-up static electricity. Because of this, special precautions must be taken to

minimise or eliminate the possibility of these electrostatic discharges occurring.

• Before handling VM600Mk2 modules (cards) and other electronic circuits, discharge the

static electricity from your body by touching and momentarily holding a grounded metal

object (such as a pipe or cabinet).

• Avoid the build-up of static electricity on your body by not wearing synthetic clothing

material, as these tend to generate and store static electric charges. Cotton or cotton

blend materials are preferred because they do not store static electric charges.

• Do not handle VM600Mk2 modules (cards) and other electronic circuits unless it is

absolutely necessary. Only hold modules/cards by their handles or panels.

• Do not touch printed circuit boards, their connectors or their components with conductive

devices or with your hands.

• Put the any module (card), printed circuit board or other electronic circuit containing

electronic components into an antistatic protective bag immediately after removing it

from a VM600Mk2/VM600 rack.

Read the following recommendations carefully before handling electronic
