Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge
Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your computer. To prevent static damage,
discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of your computer's electronic
components. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface on the computer chassis.
As you continue to work inside the computer, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface to remove
any static charge your body may have accumulated.
You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):

Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco BBSM 5.2 Server
2
Do not push any objects into the openings of the BBSM server components. Doing so can cause fire
or electric shock by short-circuiting interior components.
Position system cables and power cables carefully; route system cables and the power cable and plug
so that they cannot be stepped on or tripped over. Be sure that nothing rests on your system
components' cables or power cable.
Do not modify power cables or plugs. Consult a licensed electrician or your power company for site
modifications. Always follow your local/national wiring rules.
If any of the following conditions occur, contact Cisco's Technical Assistance Center:
The power cable or plug is damaged
–
An object has fallen into the product
–
The product has been exposed to water
–
The product has been dropped or damaged
–
The product does not operate correctly when you follow the operating instructions
–
Use the correct external power source. Operate the product only from the type of power source
indicated on the electrical ratings label. If you are not sure of the type of power source required,
consult Cisco's Technical Assistance Center or a local power company.
To help prevent electric shock, plug the BBSM server, components, and peripheral power cables into
properly grounded electrical outlets. These cables are equipped with three-prong plugs to help
ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable.
To help protect your BBSM server from sudden, transient increases and decreases in electrical
power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptable power supply (UPS).
Do not modify power cables or plugs. Consult a licensed electrician or your power company for site
modifications. Always follow your local/national wiring rules.
When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not remove the
component from the antistatic packing material until you are ready to install the component in your
computer. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure to discharge static electricity
from your body.
When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or packaging.
Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor pads and
workbench pads.
