Observing Safety Precautions
Observing Safety Precautions
Warning LS2020 switches are designed and manufactured to meet accepted safety standards.
However, improper use can result in electrical shock, fire hazards, and personal injury. Read the
following instructions carefully before installing and using an LS2020 switch. Heed all Cautions
and Warnings.
Electrostatic Discharge Protection
Static electricity can damage or degrade electronic components. Therefore, observe the precautions
described below in handling LS2020 hardware.
Grounding Procedure
Before removing any part of the LS2020 enclosure to expose its circuitry, you must ensure that you,
the equipment rack, and the circuit boards are at ground potential to prevent electrostatic discharge
(ESD). Such spurious discharges can damage LS2020 components. To place yourself at ground
potential, wear a wrist strap connected to one of the ESD grounding jacks on the front and rear of
the LS2020 chassis or to the bare metal chassis frame itself.
Card Protection
All spare cards are shipped in a separate, reusable antistatic shielding bag. Store each card in its bag
until the card is installedin the machine.Do not remove a card fromits bag unless you aregrounded.
Do not place a bag on exposed electrical contacts where it can cause short circuits.
Unpacking and Inspecting LS2020 Hardware
To unpack the LS2020 switch, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Before moving the shipping container from the loading dock to the systems area, inspect it
for any signs of in-transit damage.
Step 2 Transport the container to the systems area where the LS2020 switch is to be installed.
Step 3 Cut the packing straps and lift the cardboard box off the LS2020 chassis. Remove the
packing material.
Step 4 Check for the presence of the power cord and country kit.
Step 5 Inspect all external surfaces of the chassis for signs of damage. Pay special attention to
areas of the chassis corresponding to visible damage to the shipping container.
Step 6 Document any damage noted during the inspection.
Step 7 Advise your LS2020 vendor of such damage.
