Check the resistance of the ESD-preventive wrist strap for safety. The resistance reading should be in
the range of 1 to 10 megohm (Mohm) between human body and the ground.

The firewall does not provide any ESD-preventive wrist strap. Prepare it yourself.

To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD), follow these guidelines:

Make sure the firewall and rack are properly grounded.

An anti-static floor is installed and properly grounded.

Maintain the humidity and temperature at a proper level in the equipment room. For more
information, see "

Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap and ESD-preventive cloth when touching a circuit board,
interface module, or transceiver module.

Place the removed power modules and interface modules on an anti-static workbench, with the

face upward, or put it into an anti-static bag.

Touch only the edges, instead of electronic components when observing or moving a removed
interface module.

Make sure the rack is properly grounded before you wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap.
