1.1 Unpacking Procedures

1.2 Handling Precaution

This chapter describes the installation and configuration of the board. Cable
configuration and board layout are illustrated in this chapter.
Any precautions found in the shipping container should be observed. All items
should be carefully unpacked and thoroughly inspected for damage that might
have occurred during shipment. The board(s) should be checked for broken
components, damaged printed circuit board(s), heat damage and other visible
contamination. All claims arising from shipping damage should be filed with the
carrier and a complete report sent to GE Technical Support.
Some of the components assembled on GE's products may be sensitive to
electrostatic discharge and damage may occur on boards that are subjected to a
high‐energy electrostatic field. When the board is placed on a bench for
configuring, etc., it is suggested that conductive material should be placed under
the board to provide a conductive shunt. Unused boards should be stored in the
same protective boxes in which they were shipped.
