ESD Precautions
The boards have integrated circuits sensitive to static electricity. To avoid damaging chipsets
from electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions:
 Do not remove boards or integrated circuits from their anti-static packaging until you are
ready to install them.
 Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted portion of the system
unit chassis for a few seconds. This will help to discharge any static electricity on a
human body.
 When handling boards and components, wear a grounding wrist strap available from
most electronic component stores.

3.5.1 Information
 General
General page
Board ID: The board ID displays the board number and the module’s name. The user
can click the drop-down list to display other module information.
Port1-2: The tab sort shows all available device ports.
Port Status: The port status option displays the word "Enable" with a lit port icon
to indicate an enabled port, whereas it displays the word “Disable” with a dim
port icon to indicate a disabled port. (The user can control port status using the
“Chip” function. Refer to “Chip” in section 3.5.2.)
Link Status: The link status can display connection status with a powered device (PD).
The green icon indicates a normal connection with PD. The red icon warns of a
connection problem with PD, and the user can search the port error code in the “Event
Log” txt file to understand what has caused the problem. If the icon turns gray, it shows
the system hasn’t connected to PD or has connected to an undefined device.
POE Class: The POE class describes PD‘s classification, which follows the 802.3 af/at
protocol to define.
Event Message: It displays detailed information on a port’s link status. If the link status
icon turns red to indicate a connection problem, the event message will report more
detailed information.

 Power Chart
PowerChart page
Chart: The chart describes power consumption by each port and total amount of unused
power. It uses percentage to represent ratio of each port.
User Defined Power Budget: The power budget shows the upper limit of power
consumption defined by the user. The user can go to the “Chip” option to set power
budget, which cannot exceed the max power budget. Refer to “Chip” in section 2.5.2.
Total Consumption: The function displays total power consumption value of all ports by
adding up every port’s power in use.
