Handling, safety, and environmental guidelines
Before you install a GBIC, SFP, or XFP, read the following handling, safety,
and environmental guidelines:
•
GBICs, SFPs, and XFPs are static sensitive. To learn how to prevent
damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD), see "Electrostatic discharge
prevention" (page 11).
•
GBICs, SFPs, and XFPs use optical connectors whose performance
can be reduced by dust contamination. When you store a GBIC, SFP, or
XFP, or when you disconnect it from a fiber optic cable, always keep a
dust cover over the GBIC, SFP, or XFP optical bore.
•
Dispose of this product according to all national laws and regulations.
Electrostatic discharge prevention
To prevent equipment damage, observe the following electrostatic discharge
(ESD) precautions when handling or installing the components.
•
Ground yourself and the equipment to an earth or building ground. Use
a grounded workbench mat (or foam that dissipates static charge) and
a grounding wrist strap. The wrist strap should touch the skin and be
grounded through a one megaohm resistor.
•
Do not touch anyone who is not grounded.
