5.0Installation Precautions

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage static-sensitive devices on circuit modules. Follow these precautions:

Do not remove the SwitchModule from its antistatic bag until you are ready to inspect or to install it.

Handle the SwitchModule by the front panel only; do not hold it by the component board.

Use proper grounding techniques when you install the SwitchModule. These techniques include using a foot strap and a grounded mat, wearing a grounded static discharge wrist strap, or touching the metal rack or frame just before you handle the SwitchModule.

When you handle CoreBuilder 5000 SwitchModules, follow these precautions to avoid component damage:

Do not twist or force the SwitchModule into the hub when you insert it into the module guides.

Match the upper and lower module guides while you slide the SwitchModule into place.

Do not push the SwitchModule all the way into the hub until the SwitchModule ejectors (if any) are open.

WARNING: To ensure optical safety when you install 10BASE-FB/FL, FDDI, and 100BASE-FX SwitchModules, comply with the following precaution:

Although the data communication LEDs and Lasers used in this product meet the regulatory requirements for casual exposure to the eye, as with any source of bright light, it is advised that you do not look into the light source.
