Safety and equipment care information
Electrostatic discharge prevention
To prevent equipment damage, observe the following electrostatic discharge (ESD)
precautions when you handle or install the components.
• Ground yourself and the equipment to an earth or building ground. Use a grounded
workbench mat (or foam that dissipates static charge) and a grounding wrist strap. The
wrist strap must touch the skin and be grounded through a one megaohm resistor.
• Do not touch anyone who is not grounded.
• Leave all components in their ESD-safe packaging until installation, and use only a static-
shielding bag for all storage, transport, and handling.
• Clear the area of synthetic materials such as polyester, plastic, vinyl, or styrofoam
because these materials carry static electricity that damages the equipment.
