Recommended ESD Guidelines
Follow these guidelines when handling Grass Valley equipment:
• Only trained personnel that are connected to a grounding system should handle ESDS items.
• Do not open any protective bag, box, or special shippingpackaging until you have been grounded.
NOTE: When a Personal Grounding strap is unavailable, as an absolute minimum, touch a
metal object that is touching the oor (for example, a table, frame, or rack) to discharge any
static energy before touching an ESDS item.
• Open the anti-static packaging by slitting any existing adhesive tapes. Do not tear the tapes off.
• Remove the ESDS item by holding it by its edges or by a metal panel.
• Do not touch the components of an ESDS item unless it is absolutely necessary to congure or
repair the item.
• Keep the ESDS work area clear of all nonessential items such as coffee cups, pens, wrappers
and personal items as these items can discharge static. If you need to set an ESDS item down,
place it on an anti-static mat or on the anti-static packaging.
Sources of ESD and Risks
Safety Summaries
The following information identies possible sources of electrostatic discharge and can be used to
help establish an ESD policy.
Personnel
One of the largest sources of static is personnel. The static can be released from a person’s clothing
and shoes.
Environment
The environment includes the humidity and oors in a work area. The humidity level must be
controlled and should not be allowed to uctuate over a broad range. Relative humidity (RH) is a
major part in determining the level of static that is being generated. For example, at 10% - 20% RH
a person walking across a carpeted oor can develop 35kV; yet when the relative humidity is
increased to 70% - 80%, the person can only generate 1.5kV.
Static is generated as personnel move (or as equipment is moved) across a oor’s surface. Carpeted
and waxed vinyl oors contribute to static build up.
Work Surfaces
Painted or vinyl-covered tables, chairs, conveyor belts, racks, carts, anodized surfaces, plexiglass
covers, and shelving are all static generators.
Equipment
Any equipment commonly found in an ESD work area, such as solder guns, heat guns, blowers,
etc., should be grounded.
Materials
Plastic work holders, foam, plastic tote boxes, pens, packaging containers and other itemscommonly
found at workstations can generate static electricity.

K2 Storage types and terms
Grass Valley congures K2 storage to meet their customer’s workow needs. This topic describes
some typical congurations and terminology.
Online – Online storage is considered “Tier 1” K2 storage in that it is suitable for both record and
play. The purpose of an online SAN is to record and play media for broadcast or other on-air
applications. Performance requirements are critical for online applications, so this type of SAN
features high performance, low latency storage. Online storage can be iSCSI or Fibre Channel.
Production – Production storage is considered “Tier 2” K2 storage in that it is suitable for record
(ingest) but not recommended for on-air playout. The purpose of production storage is to provide
cost effective storage for production and editing applications. These applications require high
performance but internal buffering in editing software puts less stress on the storage system, so
performance requirements are lower than for online storage. Therefore, production storage can use
