You can bend or damage the connector pins if you roughly handle the module or misalign it and then force into position.
Electrostatic discharge alert
Hold the module only by the edges to avoid damage from static electricity. Do not touch the top or bottom of the circuit board. If possible, wear a wrist strap and use an antistatic bag.
Separate ESD paths to the chassis ground connect to the media modules at the spring-loaded captive screws. Use a screwdriver to ensure the captive screws are securely tightened to prevent equipment damage.
To eliminate electrical hazards for unauthorized personnel and ensure continued compliance to radiated emissions requirements, you must securely tighten all captive screws so that they cannot be loosened without the use of a tool.
After installing media modules, cover empty slots with the supplied blank plates. Using Branch Gateway with open slots can cause overheating due to inadequate air distribution.
