How to Handle ControlLogix Components
Install the Module
You can install or remove this module while chassis power and field-side
power are on.
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 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 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. 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.
