Taking ESD precautions

CAUTION: Some components within the library contain static-sensitive parts. To avoid damaging
these parts while performing installation procedures, always observe the following precautions.
• Keep the library powered off during all installation procedures.
• Keep the library power cord plugged into a grounded power outlet, except when working with
AC electrical components.
• Avoid contact with power supplies, EMI filters, and AC electrical components while the library is
connected to a power outlet.
• Use an antistatic wrist strap.
• Keep static-sensitive parts in their original shipping containers until ready for installation.
• Do not place static-sensitive parts on a metal surface. Place them inside their protective shipping
bag or on an antistatic mat.
• Avoid touching connectors and other components.
NOTE: Dry climates and cold-weather heating environments have lower relative humidity and are
more likely to produce static electricity.
