Preventing Electrostatic Discharge
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a discharge of stored static electricity that can damage equipment
and impair electrical circuitry. ESD can cause intermittent or complete equipment failures.
Use the following guidelines to prevent ESD damage while you install and work with the G8264
and optional equipment:
Use anti-static wrist straps. Adjust the strap to provide good skin contact.
Properly ground work surfaces and equipment racks for protection against electrostatic
discharge.
Avoid contact between equipment and clothing. An anti-static wrist or ankle strap protects the
equipment from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing also can cause damage.
Do not touch connector pins.
