Electrostatic Discharge
Your system must be protected from static electricity or electrostatic discharge (ESD). Take the
following measures to ensure optimum system performance:
●
Remove materials that can cause electrostatic generation (such as synthetic resins) from the wiring
closet. Check the appropriateness of floor mats and flooring.
●
Connect metal chassis, conduit, and other metals to ground using dedicated grounding lines.
●
Use electrostatically safe equipment and the ESD-preventive wrist strap that is provided with your
equipment. All switches come with ESD-preventive wrist strap connectors and an ESD-preventive
wrist strap as shown in
