Toavoidinjuryanddamagetotheequipment,alwaysfollowelectrostaticdischarge(ESD)
precautionst
Electrostaticdischarge(ESD)isgeneratedbytwoobjectswithdifferentelectricalcharges
comingintocontactwitheachother.Theresultingelectricaldischargecandamage
electroniccomponentsandprintedcircuitboards.Followtheseguidelinestoprotectyour
equipmentfromESD:
 Itisrecommendedthatyoualwaysuseastaticmatandstaticstrapwhileworkingon
componentsintheinteriorofthecontroller.
 ObserveallconventionalESDprecautionswhenhandlingplug‐inmodulesand
components.
 UseasuitableESDwristoranklestrap.
 Avoidcontactwithbackplanecomponentsandmoduleconnectors.
 Keepallcomponentsandprintedcircuitboards(PCBs)intheirantistaticbagsuntil
readyforuse.
Caution: Toensurepropercontrollercooling,memorymoduleblanksmustbe
installedinany memorysocketthatisnotoccupied.
