WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
TANK-6000-C226 may result in permanent damage to the
TANK-6000-C226 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the TANK-6000-C226. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the TANK-6000-C226 is opened and any of the electrical
components are handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
 Wear an anti-static wristband: Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
help to prevent ESD from damaging any electrical component.
 Self-grounding: Before handling any electrical component, touch any
grounded conducting material. During the time the electrical component is
handled, frequently touch any conducting materials that are connected to the
ground.
 Use an anti-static pad: When configuring or working with an electrical
component, place it on an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD
damage.
 Only handle the edges of the electrical component: When handling the
electrical component, hold the electrical component by its edges.
