To prevent damage to any system, it is important to handle all
parts with care. These measures are generally sufficient to
protect your equipment from static electricity discharge:
• Restore the communications appliance system board and
peripherals back into the antistatic bag when they are not
in use or not installed in the chassis. Some circuitry on the
system board can continue operating when the power is
switched off.
• Do not allow the lithium battery cell used to power the
real-time clock to short. The battery cell may heat up
under these conditions and present a burn hazard.
Warning - DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS
INCORRECTLY REPLACED. REPLACE ONLY WITH
SAME OR EQUIVALENT TYPE RECOMMENDED BY
THE MANUFACTURER. DISCARD USED
BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE
MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS.
• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire or with household
waste.
• Contact your local waste disposal agency for the address of
the nearest battery deposit site.
• Disconnect the system board power supply from its power
source before you connect or disconnect cables or install
or remove any system board components. Failure to do this
can result in personnel injury or equipment damage.
• Avoid short-circuiting the lithium battery; this can cause it
to superheat and cause burns if touched.
• Do not operate the processor without a thermal solution.
Damage to the processor can occur in seconds.
