ESD prevention
To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD), use the following guidelines:
•
Make sure the firewall and the rack are reliably grounded.
•
Take dust-proof measures for the equipment room. Make sure the equipment room meets the
dust control requirements described in "
•
Maintain the humidity and temperature at acceptable levels. For more information, see
"
•
Put the removed interface modules away on an ESD workbench, with the PCB upward, or put
them in ESD bags for future use.
•
Always wear ESD clothing, ESD gloves, and an ESD wrist strap when you install or remove a
transceiver module.
No ESD wrist strap is provided with the firewall. Purchase one yourself.
Before you attach an ESD wrist strap, make sure the rack is reliably grounded.
To attach the ESD wrist strap:
1.
Wear the wrist strap on your wrist.
2.
Lock the wrist strap tight around your wrist to keep good contact with the skin.
3.
Secure the wrist strap lock and the alligator clip lock together.
4.
Attach the alligator clip to the rack.
