• Understanding of electrostatic discharge and how to prevent it.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the transfer of charge between
bodies at different electrical potentials. ESD can change the electrical
characteristics of a semiconductor device and degrade or destroy it.
ESD can also disrupt the normal operation of an electronic system by
causing equipment malfunction or failure. Follow these guidelines to
prevent ESD:
— To dissipate or neutralize electrostatic charges, use proper grounding
and use conductive or dissipative materials.
— When handling modules, always wear an antistatic wrist strap
connected to the same ESD grounding point as the equipment being
worked on. Any charge in your body will go to ground rather than
transferring to hardware modules.
— Always set modules on appropriate antistatic material. Proper
antistatic packaging effectively shields the product from charge
and reduces the generation of charge caused by movement of the
product within the container.
• Knowledge of general practices to protect equipment modules from
damage. Follow these guidelines to prevent damage to equipment
modules:
— Handle modules by the faceplate. Do not touch pins or electrical
connections.
— Do not leave slots open. All slots must be filled with modules or
be covered with slot covers, if empty, in order to maintain safety
compliance, proper cooling, and EMI containment in the shelf.
— Ensure that your environment meets the necessary requirements for
temperature, humidity, and cleanliness. Refer to the environmental
requirements for your switch and server in the CallPilot server
configuration guide for your switch model.
— Replace the optional air filter regularly (approximately every three
months) in order to maintain proper cooling and airflow through the
shelf.
— Do not over-tighten thumb screws or lug nuts. Tighten until snug
plus a quarter turn. If you use a power tool to tighten screws, use a
low torque setting (2–3 lbs/sq in).
