3 - 2 ONline Ethernet 24-Port 10BASE-T Module Installation Guide
Precautionary Procedures
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage static-sensitive devices on circuit
boards. Follow these precautions when you handle the 24-Port Module.
❑ Do not remove the board from its antistatic shielding bag until you
are ready to inspect or install it.
❑ Handle the board by the faceplate only.
❑ Use proper grounding techniques when you install the 24-Port
Module. These techniques include:
– Using a foot strap and grounded mat or wearing a
grounded static discharge wrist strap.
– Touching the grounded rack or other source of ground
just before you handle a 24-Port Module.
