Safety Precautions

CAUTION: Handling ESD-Sensitive Parts
Many electronic parts use parts that are known to be sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
To prevent damage to ESD-sensitive parts, follow the instructions below in addition to all the
usual precautions, such as turning off power before removing logic boards:

WARNING: To prevent the danger of electric shock, before installing any options
be sure to turn the power switch of the printer to the off [O] position and disconnect
the power cord from the wall outlet.
Keep the ESD-sensitive part in its original shipping container (a special "ESD bag") until
you are ready to install the part into the machine.
Make the least-possible movements with your body to prevent an increase of static
electricity from clothing fibers, carpets, and furniture.
Use an ESD wrist strap on your wrist if available. Connect the wrist band to the system
ground point. This discharges any static electricity in your body to the machine.
Hold the ESD-sensitive part by its edge connector cover; do not touch its pins. If you are
removing a pluggable module, use the correct tool.
Do not place the ESD-sensitive part on any metal surface; if you need to put down the
ESD-sensitive part for any reason, first put it into its special bag.
Metal surfaces are electrical grounds. They increase the risk of damage because they make
a discharge path from your body through the ESD-sensitive part. (Large metal objects can
be discharged paths without being grounded.)
Prevent ESD-sensitive parts from being accidentally touched by other personnel.
Take extra care working with ESD-sensitive parts when cold weather heating is used
because low humidity increases static electricity.
