Precautionary Procedures

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage static-sensitive devices on circuit boards. Follow these precautions when you handle the Security 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 Security 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.
