Before Installing the
Flash Memory Drive
Before you install the flash memory drive into the NETBuilder II system, follow
these steps:
1
Observe appropriate electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions.
ESD can damage circuit board components. Failures resulting from ESD may not
be covered under your warranty. To prevent ESD damage, follow these
procedures:
■
Keep the flash memory drive in its antistatic shielded bag until you are ready
to install it.
■
Do not touch pins, leads, or solder connections on the board.
■
Handle the board by the edges only.
■
Store or ship the flash memory drive in static-protective packaging.
Observe proper grounding techniques when handling the flash memory drive:
Use a foot strap and grounded mat, or wear a grounded static discharge wrist
strap.
2
Unpack and inspect the flash memory drive for shipping damage.
If you find any damage, file a report with the shipping company. If the drive
must be returned to your network supplier, ship it in its original shipping carton.
If the original carton was damaged in shipment, repack the system in a carton
that provides equivalent protection.
3
Verify that you have received all the contents. If an item is missing from an
undamaged carton, contact your network supplier to secure a replacement. See
the following sections for carton contents:
