A.1 Static Sensitive Precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry.
It occurs when electronic printed circuit cards are improperly handled and can result
in complete or intermittent failures.
• Prior to handling, shipping, and servicing equipment, always put on a
conductive wrist strap connected to a grounding device to discharge any
accumulated static charges. All RadioFrame Networks FRUs ship with a
disposable anti-static wrist strap.
• Place FRUs only on an anti-static mat when removed from the system. The
conductive surface must be connected to ground through 100 k.
• Do not use non-conductive material for packaging FRUs for shipment or
storage. Wrap all FRUs with anti-static (conductive) material. Replacement
FRUs shipped from the factory are packaged in a conductive material.
• If possible, retain all original packing material for future use.
Warning!
Use extreme caution when wearing a conductive wrist strap near sources of high
voltage. The low impedance provided by the wrist strap also increases the danger
of lethal shock should accidental contact with high voltage sources occur.
