TX Matrix Plus Router Quick Start
TX Matrix Plus Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
34
Before installing the chassis, remove components as described in the TX Matrix Plus
Router Hardware Guide.
The router should be mounted at the bottom of the rack.
If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting
or servicing the router in the rack.
When removing or installing an electrical component, always place it component-side
up on a flat antistatic surface or in an electrostatic bag.
When you install the router, always make the ground connection first.
Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during electrical storms.
Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry, including
rings, necklaces, and watches. Metal objects heat up when connected to power and
ground and can cause serious burns or become welded to the terminals.
Failure to observe these safety warnings can result in serious physical injury.
Many TX Matrix Plus router hardware components are sensitive to damage from static
electricity. Some components can be impaired by voltages as low as 30 V. You can easily
generate potentially damaging static voltages whenever you handle plastic or foam
packing material or if you move components across plastic or carpets. Observe the
following guidelines to minimize the potential for electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage,
which can cause intermittent or complete component failures:
Always use an ESD wrist strap or ankle strap, and verify that it is in direct contact with
your skin.
CAUTION:
For safety, periodically verify the resistance value of the ESD
strap. The measurement should be in the range of 1 to 10 Mohms.
When handling any component that has been removed from the chassis, verify that
the equipment end of your ESD strap is attached to one of the ESD points on the
chassis, which are shown in
Avoid contact between the component and your clothing. ESD voltages emitted from
clothing can still damage components.
When removing or installing a component, always place it component-side up on an
antistatic surface, in an antistatic card rack, or into an electrostatic bag (see
Figure 19 on page
37). If you are returning a component, place it into an electrostatic
bag before packing it.
