Power Supply Considerations
• Never perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe.
• If an electrical accident occurs, proceed as follows:
In addition, use the following guidelines when working with any equipment that is disconnected from a power
source, but still connected to telephone wiring or network cabling:
• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for it.
• Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line is disconnected at the
• When installing or modifying telephone lines, use caution.
Power Supply Considerations
Check the power at your site to ensure that you are receiving clean power (free of spikes and noise). Install a
power conditioner, if necessary.
Preventing ESD Damage
Warning
This equipment needs to be grounded. Use a green and yellow 6 AWG ground wire to connect the host
to earth ground during normal use. Statement 383
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. ESD may occur when
electronic printed circuit cards are improperly handled and can cause complete or intermittent failures. When
removing and replacing modules, always follow ESD prevention procedures:
• Ensure that the router chassis is electrically connected to earth ground.
• Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good skin contact. To channel unwanted
• If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching a metal part of the chassis.
• When installing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to properly

◦ Use caution, and do not become a victim yourself.
◦ Turn off power to the router.
◦ If possible, send another person to get medical aid. Otherwise, determine the condition of the
victim, and then call for help.
◦ Determine whether the person needs rescue breathing or external cardiac compressions; then take
appropriate action.

against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate effectively.
seat the bus connectors in the backplane or midplane. These devices prevent accidental removal, provide
proper grounding for the system, and help to ensure that bus connectors are properly seated.
