Taking ESD Precautions
Some components within the Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 libraries contain
static-sensitive parts. To avoid damaging these parts while performing
installation procedures, always observe the following precautions:
• Use an antistatic wrist strap. If you do not have one, touch the
outside of
the library on the sheet metal before touching any
components to discharge static from your body.
• Keep static-sensitive parts in their original shipping containers until
ready for installation. Look for the ES
D sticker to identify static
sensitive parts.
• Avoid touching connectors and other components.
Note: Dry climates and cold-weather heating environments have
lower relative humidity and are more likely to produce static
electricity.
