Preventing electrostatic damage in new cable installations
With new cable installations, Extreme Networks recommends that you use an ESD discharge cable
to reduce the potential for damage from static, that can build up in cables. The following figure
illustrates an ESD cable.

To install the ESD discharge cable, perform this procedure.
1. Connect the ground lug on the ESD discharge cable to a safe and suitable earth ground.
2. Connect all RJ-45 cable connectors to the female RJ-45 connector of the ESD discharge
cable for at least 5 seconds, and then connect each RJ-45 cable connector to the switch.
3. Leave cables connected to the networking equipment. After you connect cables to
networking equipment, the cables do not build up charge.
Technical specifications
The following table provides the technical specifications for the individual switches in the ERS 3500
Series. Ensure that the area where you install the switch and where it operates meets these
requirements.
Warning:
To avoid bodily injury from hazardous electrical shock and current, never remove the top of the
device. No user-serviceable components are inside.
