    3131* The SBC should be placed on an ESD protected surface or mat and the operator should wear ESD heel or wrist straps when directly working with the board.
    3232* When connecting any cables or the power supply, make sure to touch the ESD surface before making contact with the board.
     33* '''All devices (laptop, desktop, SBC, peripherals, etc need to use a 3-pin power plug with ground pin.'''
    3334* Do not hot plug any connectors or the power supply. All connections should be made with power off. Plug the barrel jack into the SBC and into a power strip. Use the switch on the power strip to power everything on as the last step.
    34 * When using the JTAG adapter, make sure the development computer shares the same AC ground as the power supply being used to power the SBC to prevent ground loops. All devices need to use a 3-pin power plug with ground pin. 
     35* When using the JTAG adapter, make sure the development computer shares the same AC ground as the power supply being used to power the SBC to prevent ground loops. All devices need to use a 3-pin power plug with ground pin.
    3536* If powering from an active PoE switch, these switches use a low side FET to turn on power which means that the positive power (+) is always on and ground is switched in to complete the circuit. With this topology, if the JTAG adapter and the PoE switch are on the same ground then the board can power through the JTAG ground which can cause damage to both the board and JTAG. As a precaution, we recommend not using the JTAG with an active PoE switch.

    5558Gateworks recommends using a surge protected power strip. The laptop or desktop computer and Gateworks SBC power supply should all be plugged into the same power strip.
