Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic discharge can damage equipment and electrical circuitry. Electrostatic discharge occurs
when electronic printed circuit cards, such as those used in
improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent equipment failure. Always observe the
following electrostatic discharge damage (ESD) prevention procedures when installing, removing, or
replacing any electronic printed circuit cards:
•
Make sure that the router chassis is electrically connected to earth ground.
•
Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, and make sure that it makes good contact with your skin.
•
Connect the wrist strap clip to an unpainted portion of the chassis frame to channel unwanted ESD
voltages to ground.
Caution
The wrist strap and clip must be used correctly to ensure proper ESD protection. Periodically
confirm that the resistance value of the ESD-preventive wrist strap is between 1 and 10
megohms (Mohm).
•
If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the router chassis.
