ESD Safety
To protect the Acme Packet 6300/6350 delicate electronic components from damage
from static electricity, always follow the appropriate ESD procedures and wear the

Acme Packet 6300/6350 hardware and while performing any Acme Packet 6300/6350
System hardware procedures. There is an ESD receptacle in the top left corner in the

Precautions
To protect your equipment from ESD, follow these ESD safety precautions:
• Ensure that the Acme Packet 6300/6350 is properly grounded.
• If you are grounding your Acme Packet 6300/6350 to an electrically conductive,
grounded rack, check to see whether or not the rack is painted. Paint can hinder
proper grounding. If your equipment rack is painted, you should ground the
system to some other reliable place or remove a small portion of paint for proper
grounding.
• Use a grounded ESD wrist strap when working on the Acme Packet 6300/6350 to
prevent static discharge.
• To avoid damaging ESD sensitive hardware, discharge all static electricity from
your body before working directly with the Acme Packet 6300/6350 by touching a
grounded object.
