Electrostatic Discharge Guidelines
Follow these Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) guidelines to ensure that your
equipment is not damaged from improper handling:
 When you install or perform maintenance tasks, you must wear a
properly grounded ESD wrist or ankle strap to protect the system
hardware against electrostatic discharge. Make sure that the strap makes
skin contact prior to handling the HP EFS WAN Accelerator or EFS N4c
WAN Accelerator 4-port NIC.
 If an ESD strap is not available, touch a properly grounded metallic
surface prior to handling the equipment.
 Periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap to ensure it is
functioning properly.
 If you remove or replace the EFS N4c WAN Accelerator 4-port NIC, you
must transport the unit in a conductive container or an ESD bag that has
been grounded or neutralized.
 Store the EFS N4c WAN Accelerator 4-port NIC in its protective
packaging until you are ready to install it.
 Do not touch the electronic components on the EFS N4c WAN Accelerator
4-port NIC.
