Warning
Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment.
Statement 1030
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
The BBUs are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage which can occur when electronic cards
or components are handled improperly, and can result in complete or intermittent failures.
To prevent ESD damage, follow these guidelines:
•
Always use an ESD wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact.
•
Connect the equipment end of the strap to an unfinished chassis surface.
•
Place the BBU on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding bag. If the BBU will be returned to
the factory, immediately place it in a static shielding bag.
•
Avoid contact between the battery and clothing. The wrist strap protects the battery from ESD
voltages on the body only; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.
•
Do not remove the wrist strap until the installation is complete.
