ESD precautions
Attention: Many of the field replaceable units
(FRUs) are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD), and can potentially
be damaged by improper handling. When working with any FRU, use correct
ESD precautions:
- Attach ground to the indicated area on the chassis
- Wear a wrist grounding strap connected to chassis ground (if the
switch is plugged in) or a bench ground. Note: For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megaohm resistor.
- Store ESD-sensitive components in antistatic packaging

DANGER For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain
a series 1 megaohm resistor.

CAUTION: Before plugging a cable into any port, be sure to discharge
the voltage stored on the cable by touching the electrical contacts
to ground surface.
|
|
CAUTION: Static electricity can damage the chassis and other
electronic devices. To avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices
in their static-protective packages until you are ready to install
them.

Note: Wear a wrist grounding strap connected to
the chassis ground (if the device is plugged in) or to a bench ground.
