Equipment Protection Instructions; Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge - Dell 5330dn Product Information Manual

Equipment Protection Instructions

Observe the following safe-handling guidelines to help prevent damage to your equipment:
CAUTION:
environment or from high-temperature conditions into a cooler environment, allow the
equipment to acclimate to room temperature and for any condensation that may have formed
to evaporate before turning on power to avoid damage to the equipment.
• Protect your equipment from environmental hazards such as dirt, dust, food, liquids,
temperature extremes, and overexposure to sunlight.
• If your device has both a modem RJ-11 connector and a network RJ-45 connector, which
look alike, make sure that you insert the telephone cable into the RJ-11 connector, not the
RJ-45 connector.

Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge

WARNING:
specific safety information located within this document.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) events can harm electronic components inside your printer or
computer. Under certain conditions, ESD may build up on your body or an object, such as a
peripheral, and then discharge into another object, such as your printer or computer. To prevent
ESD damage, you should discharge static electricity from your body before you interact with any
of your equipment's internal electronic components, such as a memory module.
You can protect against ESD and discharge static electricity from your body by touching a metal
grounded object (such as an unpainted metal surface on your printer's or computer's I/O panel) before
you interact with anything electronic. When connecting a peripheral (including handheld digital
assistants) to your printer or computer, you should always ground both yourself and the peripheral
before connecting it to the printer or computer. In addition, as you work inside the printer, periodically
touch a metal-grounded object to remove any static charge your body may have accumulated.
You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge:
• When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not remove the
component from the antistatic packing material until you are ready to install the
component. Just before unwrapping the antistatic package, be sure to discharge static
electricity from your body.
• When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or packaging.
• Handle all electrostatic sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic
floor pads and work bench pads.
