Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge

Static electricity can harm delicate components inside the device. To prevent static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of your system’s electronic components. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface on the chassis.

You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):

When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not remove the component from the antistatic packing material until you are ready to install the component in your system. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure to discharge static electricity from your body.

When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or packaging.

Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor pads and workbench pads.

Rack Installation Safety Guidelines

Before installing your device in a rack, review the following guidelines:

Two or more people are required to install the device in a rack.

Ensure that the room air temperature is below 95°F (35°C).

Do not block any air vents; usually 6 inches (15 cm) of space provides proper airflow.

Plan the device installation starting from the bottom of the rack.

Install the heaviest device in the bottom of the rack.

Do not extend more than one device out of the rack at the same time.

Remove the rack doors and side panels to provide easier access during installation.

Connect the device to a properly grounded outlet.

Do not overload the power outlet when installing multiple devices in the rack.

Do not place any object weighing more than 110 lb (50 kg) on top of rack-mounted devices.
