Electrostatic Discharge

Your system must be protected from static electricity or electrostatic discharge (ESD). Take the following measures to ensure optimum system performance:

●Remove materials that can cause electrostatic generation (such as synthetic resins) from the wiring closet. Check the appropriateness of floor mats and flooring.

●Connect metal chassis, conduit, and other metals to ground using dedicated grounding lines.

●Use electrostatically safe equipment and the ESD-preventive wrist strap that is provided with your equipment. All switches come with ESD-preventive wrist strap connectors and an ESD-preventive wrist strap as shown in Figure 21.
