VULCAN ICE Introduction
Handling your board safely
Anti-static handling
The VULCAN fitted inside the VULCAN ICE contains CMOS devices. These could be
damaged in the event of static electricity being discharged through them. At all times,
please observe anti-static precautions when handling circuit boards. This includes
storing boards in appropriate anti-static packaging and wearing a wrist strap when
handling.
Packaging
Should a board need to be returned to Arcom, please ensure that it is adequately
packed, preferably in the original packing material.
