1.5 Precautions
This section contains safety information and advice on how to avoid damage to the core
module.
1.5.1 Ensuring safety
Warning
To avoid a safety hazard, only Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) equipment should be
connected to the JTAG interface.
1.5.2 Preventing damage
The core module is intended for use within a laboratory or engineering development
environment. It is supplied without an enclosure which leaves the board sensitive to
electrostatic discharges and allows electromagnetic emissions.
Caution
To avoid damage to the board you should observe the following precautions.
• Never subject the board to high electrostatic potentials.
• Always wear a grounding strap when handling the board.
• Only hold the board by the edges.
• Avoid touching the component pins or any other metallic element.
• Do not use the board near equipment which could be:
— sensitive to electromagnetic emissions (such as medical equipment)
— a transmitter of electromagnetic emissions.
