Safety Information
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage occurs when the module is improperly
handled. ESD can damage components on a module, causing complete or
intermittent failures.
To prevent ESD-related damage, handle the module in the following
manner:
■
Always wear the ESD wrist strap provided with the module, ensuring that it
makes good skin contact and that the alligator clip is connected to a
suitable ground. See Figure 3
on page 7.
■
Keep the module in its antistatic shielded bag until you are ready to
install it.
■
Do not touch the components, pins, leads, or solder connections.
■
Always handle the module by its edges.
Additionally, you should cover every empty slot with a blank faceplate to
protect the system from dust or other foreign substances, and to ensure
proper system cooling.
Prior to Installation
Before you install your new module, follow the appropriate pre-installation
instructions below:

Your LANplex system is shipped with no modules installed and with
protective faceplates covering the installation slots. Initial installation
requires that you remove the protective faceplate covering the selected
installation slot prior to installing the option module.
