WARNING:
This system has internal components which may be damaged by electrostatic discharge.
To protect internal components from electrostatic damage, be sure to observe the following precautions
when handling or storing the system:
•
The MBS1000 has a net chassis weight of approximately 35.2lbs. (16.0kg). This base chassis
weight includes the chassis, an MBC8240 modular blade card, an MPI8241 mid-plane inteface
board, rack mounting hardware, and a rear-mounted, redundant, AC/DC power supply. Use
proper lifting techniques when moving and installing the system.
•
When removing or installing boards and sub-components, keep these components in their static-
shielded bag and/or packaging until you are ready to for component installation.
•
Handle the sub-components by their edges.
•
Do not touch any sub-component I/O connector pins. Do not apply pressure or attach labels to the
board-level sub-components.
•
Use a grounded wrist strap at your system or ground yourself frequently by touching the metal
chassis of the system before handling any sub-components.
•
Ensure the systems external power source has a solid connection to an earth ground.
•
Use antistatic padding on all work surfaces when installing or removing sub-components.
•
Avoid static-inducing carpeted areas.
