CAUTION WITH ESDS DEVICES
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) AND ESD
PROTECTION: Since the Application Gateway
can be extremely sensitive to ESD, perform the
procedures in this section only at an ESD
workstation. If an ESD station is not available,
you can reduce the risk of ESD damage by:
Wearing the antistatic wrist strap provided
•
and attach it to a metal part of the Application
Gateway.
Touch the metal on the Application Gateway
•
before touching the other components.
Keep part of your body in contact with the
•
metal Application Gateway to dissipate the
static charge while handling the components.
Avoid moving around unnecessarily.
•
Hold the Application Gateway components
•
(especially boards) only by the edges.
Place the Application Gateway components
•
on a grounded, static-free surface. Use a
conductive foam pad if available, but NOT the
component wrapper.
Do not slide the components over any surface.
•
CAUTION — Service Interruption
COOLING AND AIRFLOW: For proper cooling
and airflow, always install the Application
Gateway access cover before turning on the
system. Operating the system without the cover in
place can cause overheating and damage to
system parts.
