Electrical hazard – risk of damage to equipment
Make sure all electrostatic energy is dissipated before performing installing or
removing components from the device. An electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause
serious damage to the component once it is outside the chassis.
1. Make sure all potential electrostatic build-up has been properly discharged to
prevent an electrostatic discharge (ESD). This can be accomplished by wearing
an ESD-preventive wrist trap connected to either the chassis ground connector
or a bare metal surface on the router/switch.
