Laser SafetyFor more detailed information and safety precautions, refer to Appendix
Industry experience has shown that all integrated circuit packs
can be damaged by static electricity that builds up on work
surfaces and personnel. The static charges are produced by
various charging effects of movement and contact with other
objects. Dry air allows greater static charges to accumulate.
Higher potentials are measured in areas with low r elati ve
humidity , but potentials high enough to cause damage can occur
anywhere.
In order to prevent damage by electrostatic discharge the following
precautions should be observed when handling circuit packs:
•Assume all circuit packs contain solid state electronic components
that can be damaged by ESD.
•When handling circuit packs (storing, inserting, removing, etc.) or
when working on the backplane, always wear a grounded wrist
strap such as the one shown in Figur e 1, Static Contr ol W rist Strap (page xxi) or wear a heel strap and stand on a grounded, static
dissipating floor mat. If a static dissipating floor mat is used, be
sure that it is clean to ensure a good discharge path.
•Handle all circuit packs by the faceplate or latch and by the top
and bottom outermost edges. Never touch the components,
conductors, or connector pins.
•Observe warning labels on bags and cartons. Whenever possible,
do not remove circuit packs from antistatic packaging until ready
to insert them into slots.
•If possible, open all circuit packs at a static safe work position,
using properly grounded wrist straps and static dissipating table
mats. If a static dissipating floor mat is used, be sure that it is clean
to ensure a good discharge path.
•Always store and transport circuit packs in static safe packaging.
Shielding is not required unless specified.
•Keep all static generating materials such as food wrappers,
plastics, and styrofoam containers away from all circuit packs.
Upon removal from bay, immediately put circuit packs into static
safe packages.
T o reduce the possibility of ESD damage, assemblies a re equipped with
grounding jacks to enable personnel to ground themselves using wrist
straps (Figure 1, Static Control Wrist Strap) while handling circuit
packs or working on an assembly. The jacks for connection of wrist
straps are located at the lower right-hand corner of each assembly and
are labeled. When grounding jacks are not provided, an alligator clip
adapter enables connection to bay frame ground.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the
presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature
accompanying this product.
