ESD prevention
CAUTION:
•
Check the resistance of the ESD wrist strap for safety. The resistance reading should be in the range of
1 to 10 megohm (Mohm) between human body and the ground.
•
The F5000-A5 does not provide any ESD wrist strap. Prepare it yourself.
To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD), follow these guidelines:
•
Make sure the firewall and rack are correctly grounded.
•
An anti-static floor is installed and correctly grounded.
•
Maintain the humidity and temperature at a compliant range in the equipment room. For more
information, see "
•
Always wear an ESD wrist strap and ESD cloth when touching a circuit board, interface module, or
transceiver module.
