UltraNet™ Edge Storage Router 3000 User Guide
Preventing Damage from Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
• Conserve movement. Movement can cause build-up of static
electricity.
• Handle the UltraNet Edge 3000 and its components carefully.
Never touch the circuitry. Place your hands only on the edges,
rails, or frame of the unit.
• Touch a spare component—while it is still in the antistatic
wrapping—to an unpainted metal portion of the UltraNet Edge
3000 for at least two seconds. This allows the static electricity to
discharge harmlessly from your body and the spare.
• Install the spare directly into the UltraNet Edge 3000 after
removing it from the antistatic wrapping. Do not remove the
anti-static wrapping until you are ready to do the install. If you
must set down an unwrapped spare, set it down on a static mat or
on its antistatic wrapping.
NOTE: Do not place the spare component on top of the UltraNet Edge 3000
or on a metal table. Either action could cause damage to the spare.
• Be aware of weather conditions. Cold weather increases the
likelihood of static electricity build-up.
• Be aware of your own conductivity level. Some people are more
likely than others to build up static electricity. Products, such as
StaticGuard and other static sprays available at office or computer
supply stores, can be used to diminish personal static electricity
build-up.
