Preparing for Installation
• 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 can 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
• When removing a component, use available ejector levers or captive installation screws, if any, to release
• Handle components by their handles or edges only; do not touch the printed circuit boards or connectors.
• Place a removed component board side up on an antistatic surface or in a static-shielding container. If
• Avoid contact between the printed circuit boards and clothing. The wrist strap only protects components
• Never attempt to remove the printed circuit board from the metal carrier.
Note
For the safety of your equipment, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic wrist strap. It should
be between 1 and 10 Mohm.

against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate effectively.
