UltraWAVE Micro BTS Installation and Commissioning Guide, Version B 7
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
1.1.3 Unpacking and Inspecting the Rack Assembly
The Micro BTS may be shipped in a standard 19 inch rack assembly. Carefully
inspect the system as it is unpacked. Ensure that the required cabling is
included. If you notice any damage such as dents or broken connections,
immediately notify the carrier as well as Alvarion Customer Service.
Store the shipping containers for future use. If the unit has to be returned for
upgrade or service, the specially designed shipping containers assure adequate
protection of the equipment. If for some reason the shipping containers are not
reusable or if they are misplaced, please contact Alvarion to order new containers.
1.2 Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Electrostatic discharge is the movement of normally motionless electrical charges
which can destroy common electrical and electronic equipment.
Alvarion recommends that you use an anti-static wrist strap when handling
boards and components.
By using an anti-static wrist-strap, static electricity is constantly dispersed, via
the snug-fitting wrist-band, down the cable and to the grounded connection at the
other end, leaving hands free to work.
Use either the provided anti-static wrist-strap or an ESD mat.
Otherwise, touch the metal chassis to drain off any static electricity before
touching the cards.
Do not wear wool or polyester clothing.
Dry air can prevent dangerous charges from harmlessly dissipating. Alvarion
recommends a relative humidity of 50-60% when working on this equipment.
Handle the cards as little as possible and only by the edges.
Before starting any of the following procedures, the Field Service
Technician needs to ensure that anti-static precautions are taken.
