Preface
Taking ESD Precautions Some components within the Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 libraries contain static-sensitive parts. To avoid damaging these parts while performing installation procedures, always observe the following precautions:
•Use an antistatic wrist strap. If you do not have one, touch the outside of the library on the sheet metal before touching any components to discharge static from your body.
•Keep static-sensitive parts in their original shipping containers until ready for installation. Look for the ESD sticker to identify static sensitive parts.
•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.
