Taking ESD Precautions Some components within the DXi system contain static-sensitive parts. To avoid

damaging these parts while performing installation procedures, always observe
the following precautions:

• Keep static-sensitive parts in their original shipping containers until ready
for installation.

• Do not place static-sensitive parts on a metal surface. Place them inside their
protective shipping bag or on an antistatic mat.

• Wear anti-static wrist bands when unpacking and handling the units, and
avoid touching connectors and other components.

Note: Dry climates and cold-weather heating environments have lower

relative humidity and are more likely to produce static electricity.
