Precautions

To protect your equipment from ESD, follow these ESD safety precautions:

  • Ensure that the Acme Packet 6300/6350 is properly grounded.
  • If you are grounding your Acme Packet 6300/6350 to an electrically conductive, grounded rack, check to see whether or not the rack is painted. Paint can hinder proper grounding. If your equipment rack is painted, you should ground the system to some other reliable place or remove a small portion of paint for proper grounding.
  • Use a grounded ESD wrist strap when working on the Acme Packet 6300/6350 to prevent static discharge.
  • To avoid damaging ESD sensitive hardware, discharge all static electricity from your body before working directly with the Acme Packet 6300/6350 by touching a grounded object.
