Electrostatic Discharge

Your system must be protected from static electricity or electrostatic discharge (ESD). Take the following
measures to ensure optimum system performance:
Remove materials that can cause electrostatic generation (such as synthetic resins) from the wiring
●
closet. Check the appropriateness of floor mats and flooring.
Connect metal chassis, conduit, and other metals to ground using dedicated grounding lines.
●
Use electrostatically safe equipment and the ESD-preventive wrist strap that is provided with your
●
equipment. All switches have ESD-preventive wrist strap connectors and are shipped with an
ESD-preventive wrist strap as shown in
