Use a static-free work surface (3M part number 8210 or equivalent) while
handling or working on assemblies containing semiconductors.
Do not remove semiconductors or assemblies containing semiconductors from
antistatic containers (Velo-stat bags) until absolutely necessary.
Make sure power to an assembly is turned off before removing or inserting any
component boards.
Do not slide semiconductors or electrical/electronic assemblies across any
surface.
Do not touch semiconductor leads unless absolutely necessary.
Semiconductors and electrical/electronic assemblies should be stored only in
antistatic bags or boxes.
These guidelines cannot guaranty a 100% static-free workstation, but greatly reduce
the potential for failure of any electrical/electronic assemblies due to electrostatic
discharge.
Electrical safety tests provide a method of determining if potential electrical health
hazards to the operator of the device exist.
These tests apply to the server, all peripherals, and their three-prong plugs.
WARNING
EQUIPMENT FAILURE/HEALTH HAZARD — Unless you have
an Equipment Maintenance Contract, GE does not in any manner
assume the responsibility for performing the recommended
maintenance procedures. The sole responsibility rests with the
individual or institution using the equipment. GE service personnel
may, at their discretion, follow the procedures provided in this
manual as a guide during visits to the equipment site. Failure to
implement a satisfactory maintenance schedule may cause undue
equipment failure and possible health hazards.
To help you establish a systematic maintenance routine, GE recommends that you
perform all safety tests presented in this chapter:
Upon receipt of the device,
Every twelve months thereafter,
Each time the main enclosure is disassembled or a circuit board is removed,
tested, repaired, or replaced, and
Record the date and results on the
ApexPro™ Telemetry
Repair log on page 8-18.
