AFL3-W10A/12A/W15A-AL Panel PCPage 915.1 System Maintenance IntroductionIf the components of the AFL3-W10A/12A/W15A-AL fail they must be replaced. Pleasecontact the system reseller or vendor to purchase the replacement parts. Back coverremoval instructions for the AFL3-W10A/12A/W15A-AL are described below.5.2 Anti-static PrecautionsWARNING:Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of theAFL3-W10A/12A/W15A-AL may result in permanent damage to theAFL3-W10A/12A/W15A-AL and severe injury to the user.Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,including the AFL3-W10A/12A/W15A-AL. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD.It is therefore critical that whenever the AFL3-W10A/12A/W15A-AL is accessed internally,or any other electrical component is handled, the following anti-static precautions arestrictly adhered to. Wear an anti-static wristband: - Wearing a simple anti-static wristband canhelp to prevent ESD from damaging the board. Self-grounding: - Before handling the board touch any grounded conductingmaterial. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch anyconducting materials that are connected to the ground. Use an anti-static pad: - When configuring the AFL3-W10A/12A/W15A-AL,place it on an anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damagingthe AFL3-W10A/12A/W15A-AL. Only handle the edges of the PCB: - When handling the PCB, hold the PCBby the edges.
