Safety Precautions

All servicing should be undertaken ONLY by qualified service personnel.

Read the following safety precautions carefully to reduce the risk of electric shock and fire.

3Com recommends that you use a wrist strap connected to a proper ground when handling replacement parts. This helps prevent the module from being damaged by electrostatic discharge. Additionally, when not in use, the module should be stored in an antistatic bag.

DO NOT insert any metal objects, such as a screwdriver or a ring on a finger, in the open slot when replacing a module while the system is
