The printed circuit boards (PCBs) of the Base Units described in the present Installation Guide
are partially exposed when slot fillers are removed to place Extension Cards. In order to
avoid ESD damage, the product, when it is opened, must be handled with the necessary
precaution including:
•
Grounded ESD functional work surface
•
Personal grounding
•
Verify that your configuration is compatible with the Firmware capabilities before
operating.
•
Verify that your configuration complies with the energy point balance before
operating (see
).
The Extension Cards described in this Installation Guide are modules exposing both sides of
an electronic printed circuit board. Therefore, they are packed in anti static ESD bags. In
order to avoid ESD damage, the product must be handled with the necessary precaution
as described above.
2.3. Applicable Directives, Standards and Compliance
