Electrostatic Discharge Information

A discharge of static electricity can damage static-sensitive devices or micro-circuitry. 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 (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.

■Be 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.

Equipment Symbols

The following symbols are located on applicable components of the workstation and should be observed when servicing the workstation to avoid personal injury or damage to the components:

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. 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.
