Removing and Adding Modules
Using the Grounding Wrist Strap and Chassis Grounding Lug
Because electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage switch components such as the Network Interface (NI)
and Chassis Management Modules (CMMs), you must always ground yourself properly before removing
or adding a module. For this purpose, Alcatel provides a grounding wrist strap and a grounding lug located
near the bottom-right of the chassis. To properly ground yourself, follow the steps below.
1
Fasten the grounding strap to your wrist. (A grounding strap was provided in your OmniSwitch 8800
ship kit.)
2
Insert the wrist strap’s connector pin (located at the end of the strap’s tether) into the grounding lug
near the bottom-right of the chassis, as shown.
Note.
For the grounding wrist strap to be effective in eliminating ESD, power supplies must be installed in
the chassis and plugged into grounded AC outlets.
