Electrostatic Discharge Information

A discharge of static electricity can damage static-sensitive devices or microcircuitry. Proper packaging and grounding techniques are necessary precautions to prevent damage. To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:

Transport products in static-safe containers such as conductive tubes, bags, or boxes.

Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free stations.

Cover workstations with approved static-dissipating material. Provide a wrist strap connected to the work surface and properly grounded tools and equipment.

Keep work area free of non-conductive materials such as ordinary plastic assembly aids and foam packing.

Make sure you are always properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.

Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.

Always place drives PCB-assembly-side down.

Use conductive field service tools.

Symbols in Equipment

WARNING: Any surface or area of the equipment marked with these symbols indicates the presence of a hot surface or hot component. If this surface is contacted, the potential for injury exists. To reduce risk of injury from a hot component, allow the surface to cool before touching.

WARNING: Any surface or area of the equipment marked with these symbols indicates the presence of electrical shock hazards. The enclosed area contains no operator serviceable parts. To reduce risk of injury from electrical shock hazards, do not open this enclosure.

WARNING: Any RJ-45 receptacle marked with these symbols indicates a Network Interface Connection. To reduce risk of electrical shock, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not plug telephone or telecommunications connectors into this receptacle.

WARNING: This label or equivalent is located on the

CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCTsurface of your CD-ROM drive. This label indicates that the product is classified as a CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT.
