Configuring the M4Pi
Although the M4Pi system board is packaged in protective materials, it
is important to use care while unpacking and setting up.
Static Electricity
The M4Pi is shipped from the factory in an antistatic bag. To reduce the
possibility of damage, it is important to neutralize any accumulated
static charges on your body before handling the board. The best way to
do this is to ground yourself using a special wrist or ankle strap. If you
do not have a strap, you should touch both of your hands to a safely
grounded object. After you have grounded yourself, ground the M4Pi
via the solder pads surrounding one of its mounting holes.
Once the M4Pi is removed from its packaging, place it on top of the
antistatic bag. Carefully inspect the board for damage which may have
occurred during shipment.
Office Environment
Make sure the finished computer system is in an area with good ventila-
tion. The system should not be in direct sunlight, near heaters, or
exposed to moisture, dust, or dirt.
