Avaya S8100 User Manual

Safety precautions

An ESD warning calls attention to a situation that can result in ESD damage to electronic 
components.

When performing maintenance or translation procedures on the system, users must observe certain 
precautions. Observe every caution, warning, and danger admonishment to prevent loss of service, 
possible equipment damage, and possible personal injury. In addition, the following precautions 
regarding electromagnetic interference (EMI) and static electricity must be observed:

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency (RF) energy. Electromagnetic fields 
radiating from the switch may cause noise in the customer’s equipment. If the equipment is not installed 
and used in accordance with the instruction book, radio interference may result.

To maintain the EMI integrity of the system, maintenance personnel must ensure that every cabinet 
panel, cover, and so forth, is firmly secured before leaving the customer’s premises.

The customer has the responsibility to provide – a properly installed standard 19

″

rack, adequate AC 

power, approved grounding, and sufficient ventilation.

For more information, see 

When handling circuit packs or any components of an S8100, always wear an antistatic wrist 
ground strap. Connect the strap to the ESD ground jack or an approved ground such as an 
unpainted metal surface on the S8100.
