Dell PowerConnect 2124: When Using Your System (continued) About This Guide

When Using Your System (continued)

You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge

(ESD):

• When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not

remove the component from the antistatic packing material until you are ready to

install the component in your system. Just before unwrapping the antistatic

packaging, be sure to discharge static electricity from your body.

• When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or

packaging.

• Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor

pads and workbench pads and an antistatic grounding strap.

NOTE: Your system may also include circuit cards or other components that contain

batteries. These batteries must also be disposed of in a battery deposit site. For

information about such batteries, refer to the documentation for the specific card or

component.
