5.3.4 Weight Distribution Within a Rack
5.3.5 Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) and Safety Procedures
Artesyn strongly recommends that you use an antistatic wrist strap and a conductive foam pad
when installing or upgrading a shelf. Electronic components, such as disk drives, computer
boards, and memory modules, can be extremely sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
After removing the component from its protective wrapper or from the shelf, place the
component flat on a grounded, static-free surface (and, in the case of a blade, component side
up). Do not slide the component over any surface.
If an ESD station is not available, you can avoid damage resulting from ESD by wearing an
antistatic wrist strap (available at electronics stores) that is attached to an active electrical
ground. Note that a shelf may not be grounded if it is unplugged.
5.4 Installing the Shelf
The AXP1440 can be mounted in a 23" EIA or 600mm ETSI frame using front mounting
brackets. Using rear mounting brackets is recommended for all frame types when installed in
a Central Office Environment. Front or rear mounting brackets are not shipped with this
product. For assistance with the acquisition or design of mounting brackets for your particular
application, please contact your Artesyn representative.
To avoid personal injury or damage to the equipment, plan your installation so that
(within the limitations of equipment and cabling):
The weight of the equipment is evenly distributed in the rack.
The heaviest units are mounted nearer the bottom of the rack.
Uneven mechanical loading of the rack may cause tipping.
Use ESD
protection
There is one earth ground located at the back of the shelf.
There are three ESD bonding points, two on the front and one on the back of the shelf.
