2.1.4 Electrostatic Discharge Protection
The VX-MD4024 system contains static-sensitive components. Be sure to wear a properly grounded
antistatic wrist strap when handling them. Also, when removing and replacing a card, hold it either
by its front ejector handle or by its edges.
Do not touch its rear connector contacts, which must remain free of contaminants.
2.1.5 Routine Maintenance
Always monitor the VX-MD4024 system performance at the central office/ remote sites using the
SNMP. It allows user to view the current system status, alarm information and to take the necessary
corrective action if a problem is reported.
Also keep each VX-MD4024 system site free of dust and other pollutant that could affect system
performance. In addition, be sure to maintain the environment conditions at the central office and
at each remote system site. The ideal operating temperature is about 20
C. The following is the
acceptable operating condition range:
-40
