Safety Precautions

CAUTION: Handling ESD-Sensitive Parts

Many electronic parts use parts that are known to be sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). To

prevent damage to ESD-sensitive parts, follow the instructions below in addition to all the usual

precautions, such as turning off power before removing logic boards:

❥Keep the ESD-sensitive part in its original shipping container (a special “ESD bag”) until you are

ready to install the part into the machine.

❥Make the least-possible movements with your body to prevent an increase of static electricity

from clothing fibers, carpets, and furniture.

❥Use an ESD wrist strap on your wrist if available. Connect the wrist band to the system ground

point. This discharges any static electricity in your body to the machine.

❥Hold the ESD-sensitive part by its edge connector cover; do not touch its pins. If you are remov-

ing a pluggable module, use the correct tool.

❥Do not place the ESD-sensitive part on any metal surface; if you need to put down the ESD-sen-

sitive part for any reason, first put it into its special bag.

❥Metal surfaces are electrical grounds. They increase the risk of damage because they make a

discharge path from your body through the ESD-sensitive part. (Large metal objects can be dis-

charged paths without being grounded.)

❥Prevent ESD-sensitive parts from being accidentally touched by other personnel.

❥Take extra care working with ESD-sensitive parts when cold weather heating is used because

low humidity increases static electricity.

WARNING: To prevent the danger of electric shock, before installing any options be sure to

turn the power switch of the printer to the off [O] position and disconnect the power cord

from the wall outlet.
