ESD Safety
To protect the Acme Packet 4600 System’s delicate 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 4600 System hardware and while performing any Acme Packet 4600
System hardware procedures.
Precautions
To protect your equipment from ESD, follow these ESD safety precautions:
•
Ensure that the Acme Packet 4600 System is properly grounded.
•
If you are grounding your Acme Packet 4600 System 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 4600 System
to prevent static discharge.
•
To avoid damaging ESD-sensitive hardware, discharge all static electricity from
your body before working directly with the Acme Packet 4600 System chassis by
touching a grounded object.
