discharged to some connector pins but not others, or to some pins before others, which has the
potential to damage the networking equipment.
To protect the switch against ESD damage, take the following preventive measures before
connecting any data cables to the device:
• Always use antistatic wrist straps. Make sure the strap is adjusted to provide good skin contact.
• Ensure that work surfaces and equipment racks are properly grounded for protection against
electrostatic discharge. The common point must be connected to the building ground wire. In a
properly wired building, the nearest reliable ground is typically at the electrical outlet.
• Avoid contact between equipment and clothing. The wrist or ankle strap only protects the
equipment from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.
• Avoid touching any connector pins.
• Do not remove the wrist or ankle strap until the installation is complete.
• With new cable installations, Avaya recommends the use of an ESD discharge cable to reduce
the potential for damage from static that can build up in cables. See the following figure.

Technical specifications
The following table provides the technical specifications for the individual switches in the Avaya
Ethernet Routing Switch 3600 Series. Ensure that the area where you install the switch and where it
operates meets these requirements.
Warning:
To avoid bodily injury from hazardous electrical shock and current, never remove the top of the
device. No user-serviceable components are inside.
