Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge

Warning: Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your system. To prevent static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of the electronic components, such as the microprocessor. You can do so by periodically touching an unpainted metal surface on the switch.

You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):

1.When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, leave it in the antistatic package until you are ready to install it. Just before unwrapping the antistatic package, discharge static electricity from your body.

2.Before moving a sensitive component, place it in an antistatic container or package.

3.Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor pads, workbench pads, and an antistatic grounding strap.

Unpacking the Hardware

Check the contents of the boxes to make sure that all items are present before beginning the installation.

1.Place the container on a clean flat surface, and cut all straps securing the container.

2.Unpack the hardware from the boxes.

Carefully remove the hardware, and place it on a secure and clean surface. See “Selecting a Location” on page 2-3.

3.Remove all packing material.

4.Make sure that all items are present. See “Package Contents” on page 2-1.

Note: If any item is found missing or damaged, contact your local NETGEAR reseller for replacement.

5. Inspect the products and accessories for damage. Report any damage immediately.
