Preventing Electrostatic Discharge

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when electronic cards or components are
improperly handled, results in complete or intermittent failures. We recommend use of an
ESD-preventive wrist strap whenever you handle network equipment or one of its components.

Always use an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap, and ensure that it makes good skin contact.
Connect the equipment end of the connection cord to an ESD jack or a bare metal surface on the
chassis (ensure that the chassis is grounded).
Handle a card by its ejector levers, when applicable, or its metal carrier only; avoid touching the
board or connector pins (see the
page 5-2).
