Many services gateway hardware components are sensitive to damage from static
electricity. Some components can be impaired by voltages as low as 30 V. You can easily
generate potentially damaging static voltages whenever you handle plastic or foam
packing material or if you move components across plastic or carpets. Observe the
following guidelines to minimize the potential for electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage,
which can cause intermittent or complete component failures:
•
Always use an ESD wrist strap or ankle strap, and verify that it is in direct contact with
your skin.
CAUTION: For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the ESD
strap. The measurement should be in the range of 1 to 10 Mohms.
• When handling any component that is removed from the chassis, verify that the
equipment end of your ESD strap is attached to one of the ESD points on the chassis.
•
Avoid contact between the component and your clothing. ESD voltages emitted from
clothing can still damage components.
• When removing or installing a component, always place it component-side up on an
antistatic surface, in an antistatic card rack, or in an electrostatic bag. If you are returning
a component, place it into an electrostatic bag before packing it.

J-SRX100 Services Gateway Fire Safety Requirements
In the event of a fire emergency involving devices and other network equipment, the
safety of people is the primary concern. Establish procedures for protecting people in
the event of a fire emergency, provide safety training, and properly provision fire-control
equipment and fire extinguishers.
In addition, establish procedures to protect your equipment in the event of a fire
emergency. Products should be installed in an environment suitable for electronic
