Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. ESD can occur if
electronic printed circuit cards are improperly handled and can cause complete or intermittent failures.
Always follow ESD prevention procedures when removing and replacing modules:
•

•
For the safety of your equipment, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. It should
Caution
be between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohm).
General Site Requirements
This section describes the requirements that your site must meet for safe installation and operation of
your router. Ensure that the site is properly prepared before beginning installation. If you are
experiencing shutdowns or unusually high errors with your existing equipment, this section can also help
you isolate the cause of failures and prevent future problems.
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.
OL-5876-03
Never open the enclosure of the router's internal power supply.
If an electrical accident occurs, proceed as follows:
Use caution; do not become a victim yourself.
–
Turn off power to the device.
–
If possible, send another person to get medical aid. Otherwise, assess the victim's condition and
–
then call for help.
Determine whether the person needs rescue breathing or external cardiac compressions; then
–
take appropriate action.
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 network interface.
Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
Ensure that the router chassis is electrically connected to earth ground.
Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good skin contact. Connect the clip to
an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to channel unwanted ESD voltages safely to ground. To
guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate effectively.
If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching a metal part of the chassis.
