Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge

Static electricity can harm delicate components inside the HSS. To prevent
static damage, put on an electrostatic discharge wrist strap before touching any
of the HSS' electronic components.
In addition to the preceding precautions, the following steps can be taken to
prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):
 When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton,
do not remove the component's antistatic packing material until ready to
install the component in the HSS. Be sure to put on an electrostatic
discharge wrist strap before unwrapping the antistatic packaging.
 When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic
container or packaging.
 Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. Place the equipment
on a grounded surface. If possible, use antistatic floor pads and
workbench pads.
Note: Contact DFS if electrostatic discharge packaging is needed for return
shipments. See Return Authorization (RA) Procedure, p. 19 for more
information on returning equipment.
Unpack the HSS
IMPORTANT: When handling the HSS001's components, follow the
instructions in "Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge" (previous section).
1. Carefully open the box in which the HSS001 was shipped and remove the
unit.
2. Your HSS001 is shipped with the modules preinstalled in their appropriate
slots with packing material placed between the modules to help prevent
shipping damage. Before mounting the HSS001, open the enclosure's door
and remove the packing material.
3. Visually inspect the enclosure and the modules. If any equipment appears
damaged, read the information in the Return Authorization (RA)
Procedure (p. 23) for instructions on having the equipment replaced or
repaired.
Mount the HSS
IMPORTANT: The HSS must be mounted to the wall in a vertical position to
ensure proper airflow through the vents in the enclosure. These vents are
used to help keep the unit and its components from overheating. Do not
