ESD precautions

Attention: Many of the field replaceable units (FRUs) are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD), and can potentially be damaged by improper handling. When working with any FRU, use correct ESD precautions:

Attach ground to the indicated area on the chassis
Wear a wrist grounding strap connected to chassis ground (if the switch is plugged in) or a bench ground.
Note: For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megaohm resistor.
Store ESD-sensitive components in antistatic packaging

DANGER

For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megaohm resistor.

CAUTION:

Before plugging a cable into any port, be sure to discharge the voltage stored on the cable by touching the electrical contacts to ground surface.

CAUTION:

Static electricity can damage the chassis and other electronic devices. To avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective packages until you are ready to install them.

CAUTION:

Wear a wrist grounding strap connected to the chassis ground (if the device is plugged in) or to a bench ground.
