Safety Guidelines Chapter 4 Preparing to Install a SIP or a SPA Electrical Equipment Guidelines Follow these basic guidelines when working with any electrical equipment: • Before beginning any procedures requiring access to the chassis interior, locate the emergency power-off switch for the room in which you are working. • Disconnect all power and external cables before moving a chassis. • Do not work alone when potentially hazardous conditions exist. • Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit; always check. • Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe; carefully examine your work area for possible hazards such as moist floors, ungrounded power extension cables, and missing safety grounds. Caution This equipment is suitable for intrabuilding wiring only. Telephone Wiring Guidelines Use the following guidelines when working with any equipment that is connected to telephone wiring or to other network cabling: • Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm. • Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations. • Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface. • Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines. 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. SIPs, SPAs, 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: • 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.
