Environmental Considerations; Esd Guidelines - Imagine communications Nexio NX1011 MGX Hardware Manual

Nexio® NX1011 Series
Hardware Guide

Power cords must be compliant with the AC voltage requirements in your region.

The power cord plug cap must have an electrical current rating that is at least 125% of the electrical
current rating of this product.

The power cord plug cap that plugs into the AC receptacle on the power supply must be an IEC 320,
sheet C13, type female connector.

Be sure to disconnect the power supply before accessing the G8 chassis or its components.

Plug the power cords into a socket that is properly grounded before turning on the power.

Environmental Considerations


Notice where the power switch is on the chassis and notice where the power outlet is located in the
room containing the device. You may need to disconnect power in case of an accident or
emergency.

Take extra precautions when you work with high voltage. Be aware of your surroundings. It is not a
good idea to work alone.

Be sure to disconnect electrical power before you remove or install system components.

Be sure to turn the system off before you disconnect the power supply.

Use only one hand when you are working with powered-on electrical equipment. Using two hands
could cause electrical shock.

Use rubber mats specifically designed as electrical insulators when working with computer systems.

The power supply or power cord must include a grounding plug. The plug and must be plugged into
a grounded outlet.

ESD Guidelines

Follow these measures to protect against Electrictrostatic Discharge (ESD).

Use rubber mats that have been specifically designed as electrical insulators.

Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.

Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their anti-static bags until ready for use.

Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the anti-static bag.

Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your clothing. (Clothing may retain a static
charge even if you are wearing a wrist strap.)

Handle a board by its edges. Do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory modules, or
contacts.

If you must handle chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.

Put the motherboard and peripherals back into their anti-static bags when not in use.

For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent conductivity between
the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners, and the motherboard.
