Equipment Grounding

To minimize shock hazard, the equipment chassis and enclosure must be
connected to an electrical earth ground. The input power cable must be either
plugged into an industry electrical code compatible receptacle or wired directly
into an electrical code compatible interface. The equipment earth ground wire
(typically green) must be firmly connected to the facility electrical safety ground.
The mating electrical interface to this equipment must comply with International
Electromechanical Commission (IEC) standards.

Electrostatic Discharge

Geist strongly recommends that an anti-static precautions be taken when
installing, removing, or working on and around static sensitivity equipment.
Industry approved anti-static devices such as wrist and heel straps, in
conjunction with conductive foam pads, should be available and implemented
only after verifying that they are in good working condition.
Electronic components such as memory modules, circuit boards, and LED
displays, are sensitivity to Electro-Static Discharge (ESD). Handling of such
components should be done only after proper anti-static workspace conditions
have been established. Any static producing packing materials such as plastic,
Styrofoam, and some cardboards, should be removed and discarded in a timely
manner.

Operation of any electrical equipment in such an environment constitutes a
definite safety hazard.
