Preventing electrostatic discharge

To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when setting up the

system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage

system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the
device.
To prevent electrostatic damage:

Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.

Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.

Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.

Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.

Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.

Connecting the network cable

To secure the cable, plug the cable connector into the RJ-45 port. Ensure that the tab on the plug clicks

into position indicating that it is properly seated.
