1.2 ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)
Electrostatic discharge is the movement of normally motionless electrical charges which can
destroy common electrical and electronic equipment.
ADC 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. ADC recommends a
relative humidity of 50-60% when working on this equipment.
• Handle the cards as little as possible and only by the edges.
1.2.1 IDENTIFYING THE SYSTEM
The picoBTS system can be idenitifed using the main identification label. This label also
provides the relevant compliance information for the system when it was assembled.
• Locate the identification label, shown in Figure 1-1, on the rear of the chassis.
This configuration label provides the model and serial numbers for your chassis. These identi-
fication details are required if you encounter any problems with the system and need to contact
Customer Service.
Warning: Make sure you use anti-static precautions before starting any of the following procedures.
