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 wriststrap.
•
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 FIM with power applied, 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.
