ESD Safety Information

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage components of the module. ESD, which occurs when a GEN Interface Module is improperly handled, can cause complete or intermittent failures.

CAUTION: To prevent ESD-related damage:

■Always wear an ESD wrist strap (not provided) when you handle a GEN Interface Module, ensuring that the strap makes good skin contact.

■Keep the GEN Interface Module in its antistatic bag until you are ready to install it.

Handling Precautions When you handle a GEN Interface Module, follow these precautions:

■Always handle the module by its front panel only.

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

■Do not twist or otherwise force the module into the chassis when you insert it into the module slot guides.

■Before you push the module into the chassis, make sure that the module ejector handles are open.

■To slide the module into the 16-slot chassis, match the upper and lower module guides; in the 7-slot chassis, match the left and right module guides.
