3 Installing and Operating the Module
This chapter describes the precautionary, unpacking, and installation procedures for the Ethernet 10BASE-T Module.
Precautionary Procedures
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage static-sensitive devices on circuit boards. Follow these precautions when you handle the 10BASE-T Module.
❑Do not remove the board from its anti-static shielding bag until you are ready to inspect it.
❑Handle the board by the faceplate.
Use proper grounding techniques when you install the 10BASE-T Module. These techniques include using a foot strap and grounded mat or wearing a grounded static discharge wrist strap. An alternate method is to touch the grounded rack or other source of ground just before you handle the module.
