Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when electronic cards or components are
improperly handled, results in complete or intermittent failures. Port adapters and processor modules
comprise printed circuit boards that are fixed in metal carriers. Electromagnetic interference (EMI)
shielding and connectors are integral components of the carrier. Although the metal carrier helps to
protect the board from ESD, use a preventive antistatic strap during handling.
Following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:
For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be
Caution
between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohm).
FCC Class A Compliance
The equipment described in this manual has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class A digital device. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be
required to correct the interference at their own expense.
You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference
stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its peripheral devices. If the equipment
causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more
of the following measures:
Note
The clock card has been designed to meet these requirements. Modifications to this product that are not
authorized by Cisco Systems could void the approvals and negate your authority to operate the product.

Always use an ESD wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact.
Connect the equipment end of the strap to an unfinished chassis surface.
When installing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to properly
seat the bus connectors in the backplane or midplane. These devices prevent accidental removal, provide
proper grounding for the system, and help to ensure that bus connectors are properly seated.
When removing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to release the
bus connectors from the backplane or midplane.
Handle carriers by available handles or edges only; avoid touching the printed circuit boards or
connectors.
Place a removed component board-side-up on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding container. If
you plan to return the component to the factory, immediately place it in a static shielding container.
Avoid contact between the printed circuit boards and clothing. The wrist strap only protects components
from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.
Never attempt to remove the printed circuit board from the metal carrier.
Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.
Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.
Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.
Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make
certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers
or fuses.)
