Preventing Electrostatic
Discharge
This module is sensitive to electrostatic discharge.
Removal and Insertion
Under Power These modules are designed to be installed or removed while chassis
power is applied, while in non-hazardous locations only.
ATTENTION
!
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge
This equipment is sensitive to electrostatic discharge,
which can cause internal damage and affect normal
operation. Follow these guidelines when you handle
this equipment:
•
Touch a grounded object to discharge potential
static.
•
Wear an approved grounding wrist strap.
•
Do not touch connectors or pins on component
boards.
•
Do not touch circuit components inside the
equipment.
•
If available, use a static-safe workstation.
•
When not in use, store the equipment in
appropriate static-safe packaging.
WARNING
!
When you insert or remove the module while
backplane power is on, an electrical arc can occur.
This could cause an explosion in hazardous location
installations. Be sure that power is removed or the
area is nonhazardous before proceeding.
ATTENTION
!
The removal of a Drive Module while under power
may cause personal injury or property damage. Make
sure that removal of the module does not adversely
impact other parts of the system.
IMPORTANT
Repeated electrical arcing causes excessive wear to
contacts on both the module and its mating
connector. Worn contacts may create electrical
resistance that can affect module operation.
