Installation
Version 4 3-3 04/02/04
• Tie all equipment ground together to a single point.
Then, ground that point to a grounding rod using as short
and as straight a ground wire as possible.
• The ground wire must be bundled with other wires in the
system. Also, ground wires must not run along a metal
plane.
3.1.5 Integrated Circuit Handling Procedure
Care should be taken in handling the circuit boards during
installation and service. A number of IC (Integrated Circuit) used in
the equipment are from the MOS (Metal Oxide Semiconductor)
family and are vulnerable to damage from static discharges.
Exercise the following precautions when handling these
components:
• Before handling components, ground yourself by touching a
ground rod or the grounded chassis of the equipment
momentarily.
• Whenever, either installing or servicing the equipment, take
proper static protection (e.g. wearing a conductive wrist-strap)
and stand on a conductive mat, which is connected to the
ground through a 100 K resistor.
• Ground all test equipment and soldering stations that are
electrically powered. Always connect the ground lead of the test
equipment to the Extend-A-Page ground first and then the test
probe. While disconnecting, remove the test probe prior to the
ground lead.
3.1.6 Equipment Unpacking and Inspection
Remove all hardware from the shipping carton and inspect
the unit for damage. If shipping damage has occurred, contact the
carrier immediately. Obtain a RMA number from Eagle Broadband,
Inc. and return the damaged unit. Use the original customized
package for shipment. All damages must be reported within 15
days of shipment.
