Any nonstandard and inaccurate electrical operation can cause an accident such as fire or electrical attack,
thus causing severe even fatal damages to human bodies and equipment.
Direct or indirect touch through a wet object on high-voltage and mains supply can bring a fatal danger.
Static Discharge Damage Prevention
Although much has been done in RG-S12000 to prevent static electricity, great damage may be caused to the circuitry
and equipment when the static electricity exceeds a certain limit. In the communication network of the RG-S12000,
electrostatic induction may come from the following sources: External electric field produced by the high-voltage supply
cable, lightning, etc; Internal systems such as the indoor floor and the entire structure.
To prevent damage from static electricity, you must pay attention to the following:
Properly ground the equipment.
Take dust prevention measures in the room.
Maintain an appropriate humidity.
Always wear an anti-static wrist strap when you touch any circuit board.
Try to hold a circuit board by its edges. Do not touch any components or the PCB.
Use an anti-static shielding bag to properly store the board.
Do not let any clothes touch a circuit board. An antistatic wrist strap can only prevent human static electricity from
damaging the circuit board, but cannot prevent any static electricity on clothes.
For the RG-S12010 switch, the anti-static wrist strap hole locates at the lower-right and upper-right corners
of the front panel. For the RG-S12006 switch, the anti-static wrist strap hole locates at the lower-right corner
of the switch.
Wearing an Anti-Static Wrist Trap
The S1200 series switches are equipped with an anti-static wrist trap. To protect electronic components against static
electricity, wear an anti-static wrist trap close to your skin and keep it properly grounded while installing swappable
modules.
Use an anti-static wrist trap as follows:
1)
Ensure that the switch is properly grounded. For details, see 3.8 “Grounding.”
2)
Put your hand in the anti-static wrist trap.
3)
Tighten the buckle till the trap is closely attached to your skin.
4)
Insert the grounding terminal of the trap into the trap jack in the switch chassis, as shown in Figure 2-1.
