Fortinet FortiSwitch-1000 Install Manual page 31

guidelines are designed to help ensure the safety of technicians working with the equipment,
prevent occurrences of electric shock, and to mitigate the risk of damaging the equipment:
Know the location of the emergency power-off switch at the facility before work on the
FortiSwitch-1000 begins. The readily accessible disconnect device shall be incorporated in the
building installation wiring.
Never work alone when connecting power cables to the FortiSwitch-1000.
Examine all equipment and components for possible hazards, such as moistness, loose cabling,
or improper grounding.
Never install damaged equipment.
Never assume a circuit is disconnected from the power source. Always verify that a circuit has
been disconnected before work begins.
8.4.2 ESD
The FortiSwitch-1000 is sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). It is important to take the
necessary precautions before working on a system. The following guidelines will help reduce the
risk of an ESD event damaging the electronics of a system:
Make sure the chassis is properly grounded before handling any electronic components (the
FortiSwitch-1000 is provided with attachment points on the rear of the chassis for the connection
of a grounding cable).
Always wear an ESD-preventative wrist strap.
Make sure the wrist strap makes adequate contact with your skin. An ESD wrist strap tester is
recommended.
Make sure the other end of the wrist strap is connected to one of the standard ESD jacks on the
front or rear of the chassis.
