About Installing Cards and Associated Components
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when electronic cards or components are improperly
handled, results in complete or intermittent failures. We recommend use of an ESD-preventive wrist strap
whenever you handle network equipment or one of its components.
•
Always use an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap, and ensure that it makes good skin contact. Connect
the equipment end of the connection cord to an ESD jack or a bare metal surface on the chassis (ensure
that the chassis is grounded).
