Handling static-sensitive devices
About this task
Attention: The N7000 series system uses electronic components that are
sensitive to static electricity. Static discharge from your clothing or other
fixtures around you can damage these components. Put on an antistatic ESD
strap and grounding leash to free yourself of static electricity before touching
any electronic components.
Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices and your system. To
avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective packages until
you are ready to install them.
