Handling Instructions

The handling and usage instructions stated herein are general guidelines for board-level products.

Individual board-level products may have additional instructions and requirements in the applicable

product specification, which should be consulted.

• Complete all handling at an electrostatic discharge (ESD)-safe workstation with ESD-safe tools. The

workstation and tools must comply with IPC-A-610 at a minimum or ANSI/ESD S20.20.

• Handle by the edges of the base board. Do not handle the board by the bracket, heat sinks, or any

installed daughter board or DIMM memory.

• Do not stack boards after removing them from their shipping containers. Place boards on a flat, ESD-

safe surface with the top side of the board up to prevent damage to the heat sink.

• Do not bend or twist the board at any time. Any stress that exceeds 500 micro-strain, or 500 micro-

inches of deflection per inch of board material in any direction, could damage the board. Broadcom

follows the IPC/JEDEC-9704 industry standard.

• When installing the board in a system, press down evenly on the top corners of the base board to

avoid contact with brackets, heat sinks, or any installed daughter board or DIMM memory.

• When installing cables, align the cable with the board-mounted connector. Do not force the cable

into the connector, and orient any polarized cables properly.

• Refer to the board Quick Installation Guide for complete instructions on changing the bracket,

including screw torque specifications.

• Disconnect the power before removing or replacing the board.

• Do not allow any fluid or any material that is conductive or corrosive to contact the board.

• The boards are designed to operate in an ambient environment of 10 °C to 55 °C (dry bulb). The

relative humidity environment should be between 20% and 80% (non-condensing).

• To avoid overheating, make sure the minimum required airflow is applied. Refer to the board Quick

Installation Guide for more information.
