Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
To protect the equipment from damage by Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
during the installation procedure, observe proper ESD protection when
handling the SwitchBlade x3106 line cards and power supplies. You
should be properly grounded with a wrist or foot strap.
Caution
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage the components on the
SwitchBlade x3106 line cards and power supplies. Be sure to follow
proper ESD procedures during the installation.
To guard against ESD, perform this procedure:
1. Verify that the chassis is electrically connected to earth ground.
2. Connect the wrist strap that comes with the chassis to the ESD socket
below the AT-SBxFAN06 Fan Module, shown in Figure 50. This
ensures that ESD voltages safely flow to ground.

good contact with your skin.
