Safety and environmental precautions
Before you begin performing any installation or replacement procedure on the Passport switch, please note the following safe handling guidelines:
•To prevent damage caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD), handle the switch chassis and modules only when you, the chassis, and the chassis modules are properly grounded. Nortel Networks recommends the use of a grounding wrist strap.
