ESD Safety
To protect the delicate Acme Packet 4500 electronic components from damage from
static electricity, always follow the appropriate ESD procedures and wear the proper
protective devices (such as an ESD wrist strap) when handling any and all Acme
Packet 4500 hardware and while performing any Acme Packet 4500 hardware
procedures.
Precautions
To protect your equipment from ESD, follow these ESD safety precautions:
• Ensure that the Acme Packet 4500 is properly grounded.
•
If you are grounding your Acme Packet 4500 to an electrically conductive,
grounded rack, check to see whether or not the rack is painted. Paint can hinder
proper grounding. If your equipment rack is painted, you should ground the
system to some other reliable place or remove a small portion of paint for proper
grounding.
• Use a grounded ESD wrist strap when working on the Acme Packet 4500 to
prevent static discharge.
• To avoid damaging ESD-sensitive hardware, discharge all static electricity from
your body before working directly with the Acme Packet 4500 chassis by
touching a grounded object.
