Understanding of electrostatic discharge and how to prevent it. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the transfer of charge between bodies at different electrical potentials. ESD can change the electrical characteristics of a semiconductor device and degrade or destroy it. ESD can also disrupt the normal operation of an electronic system by causing equipment malfunction or failure. Follow these guidelines to prevent ESD:

To dissipate or neutralize electrostatic charges, use proper grounding and use conductive or dissipative materials.

When handling modules, always wear an antistatic wrist strap connected to the same ESD grounding point as the equipment being worked on. Any charge in your body will go to ground rather than transferring to hardware modules.

Always set modules on appropriate antistatic material. Proper antistatic packaging effectively shields the product from charge and reduces the generation of charge caused by movement of the product within the container.

Knowledge of general practices to protect equipment modules from damage. Follow these guidelines to prevent damage to equipment modules:

Handle modules by the faceplate. Do not touch pins or electrical connections.

Do not leave slots open. All slots must be filled with modules or be covered with slot covers, if empty, in order to maintain safety compliance, proper cooling, and EMI containment in the shelf.

Ensure that your environment meets the necessary requirements for temperature, humidity, and cleanliness. Refer to the environmental requirements for your switch and server in the CallPilot server configuration guide for your switch model.

Replace the optional air filter regularly (approximately every three months) in order to maintain proper cooling and airflow through the shelf.

Do not over-tighten thumb screws or lug nuts. Tighten until snug plus a quarter turn. If you use a power tool to tighten screws, use a low torque setting (2–3 lbs/sq in).
