Getting Started guide.

Safety Information Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage occurs when the module is improperly handled. ESD can damage components on a module, causing complete or intermittent failures.

To prevent ESD-related damage, handle the module in the following manner:

Always wear the ESD wrist strap provided with the module, ensuring that it makes good skin contact and that the alligator clip is connected to a suitable ground. See Figure 3 on page 7.

Keep the module in its antistatic shielded bag until you are ready to install it.

Do not touch the components, pins, leads, or solder connections.

Always handle the module by its edges.

Additionally, you should cover every empty slot with a blank faceplate to protect the system from dust or other foreign substances, and to ensure proper system cooling.

Prior to Installation

Read if installing in an empty slot

Before you install your new module, follow the appropriate pre-installation instructions below:

Your LANplex system is shipped with no modules installed and with protective faceplates covering the installation slots. Initial installation requires that you remove the protective faceplate covering the selected installation slot prior to installing the option module.
