 Module Installation Instructions 
Electrostatic Discharge Precautions 
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause damage to the plug-in Media Converter 
modules that install into the chassis.  Always observe the following precautions 
when installing or handling an add-in module or any board assembly. 
 
1. 
Do not remove the module from its protective packaging until you are ready 
to install it. 
2. 
Wear an ESD wrist grounding strap before handling any module or 
component.  If you do not have a wrist strap, maintain grounded contact with 
the system unit throughout any procedure requiring ESD protection. 
  WARNING: 
Integrated circuits and fiber optic components are extremely susceptible 
to electrostatic discharge damage.  Do not handle these components 
directly unless you are a qualified service technician and use tools and 
techniques that conform to accepted industry practices. 
3. 
Hold boards by the edges only; do not touch the electronic components or 
gold connectors. 
4. 
After removal, always place the boards on a grounded, static free surface, 
ESD pad, or in a proper ESD bag.  Do not slide the board over any surface.
