Preparing for the Installation
Taking ESD Precautions
Some components within the library contain static-sensitive parts. To avoid damage to
these parts while performing installation, maintenance, or replacement procedures,
observe the following precautions:
•
Keep the library turned off during all installation procedures.
•
Keep the library power cord plugged into a grounded power outlet except when
working with AC electrical components.
•
Avoid contact with power supplies, EMI filters, and AC electrical components
while the library is connected to a power outlet.
•
Use an anti-static wrist strap.
•
Keep static-sensitive parts in their original shipping containers until ready for
installation.
•
Do not place static-sensitive parts on a metal surface. Place them inside their
protective shipping bag or on an anti-static mat.
•
Avoid touching connectors and other static-sensitive components.
•
Close the library door and access panel when not working on the library.
NOTE:
Dry climates and cold-weather heating environments have lower relative humidity and
are more likely to produce static electricity.
