CAUTION:
HANDLING STATIC SENSITIVE DEVICES
The components on the Model 2550-A module printed circuit card can be damaged
by static electricity discharge. To prevent this damage, the module is shipped in a special
anti-static bag. Static control precautions should be followed when removing the module
from the bag, when opening the module, and when handling the printed circuit
card during configuration.
Note the following general considerations when wiring the module:
Always use the shortest possible cables
Avoid placing low voltage wire parallel to high energy wire
(if the two wires must meet, cross them at a right angle)
Avoid bending the wire into sharp angles
Use wireways for wire routing
Avoid placing wires on any vibrating surface
2.2 Unpacking the Module
Open the shipping carton and remove the special anti-static bag which contains the module.
After discharging any static build-up, remove the module from the static bag.
Do not discard the
static bag. Always use this bag for protection against static damage when the module is not
inserted into the I/O backplane.
