To prevent damage from electrostatic discharge, an ESD strap is provided in the SBC chassis accessory kit. Refer to Connecting Electrostatic Discharge Wrist Strap on SBC 7000 to install it.

Replacing Core Server Card

Safety shield cover must be intact when system is powered on.

To replace a CSC, do the following:

  1. Backup the configuration. Before installing a new license file, a configuration backup must be taken by using the command saveConfig, which generates the .tar.gz backup file prior to the replacement. he backup must be taken before performing any operation on the system. For detailed information, refer to Restoring SBC Configuration.

CRU Storage

All  SBC 7000 CRUs are shipped in electrostatic discharge (ESD) bags and must be handled by using appropriate ESD precautions. The storage environment for these CRUs are:

  • Humidity must be less than 95% (non-condensing).
  • Temperature must be between -40C and +70C.

 

The ESD Susceptibility symbol warns of the presence of Ribbon devices susceptible to electrostatic discharge. Do not handle equipment without wearing a properly grounded ESD wrist strap.
