Safety Recommendations

To prevent hazardous conditions, follow these safety recommendations while working with this equipment:

■Keep tools away from walk areas where you or others could trip over the tools.

■Do not wear loose clothing while working around the router. Fasten your tie or scarf and roll up your sleeves to prevent clothing from being caught in the chassis.

■Wear safety glasses when working under any conditions that might be hazardous to your eyes.

■Locate the emergency power-off switch in the room before you start working. If an electrical accident occurs, turn the power off.

■Before working on the router, turn off the power and unplug the power cord.

■Disconnect all power sources before doing the following:

–Installing or removing a router chassis

–Working near power supplies

■Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.

■Always check that the power is disconnected from a circuit.

■Remove possible hazards from your work area, such as damp floors, ungrounded power extension cables, or missing safety grounds.

■If an electrical accident occurs, proceed as follows:

–Use caution; do not become a victim yourself.

–Using the emergency power-off switch, turn off the power to the room.

–Determine the condition of any victims and send another person to get medical aid or call for help.

–Determine whether the person needs rescue breathing or external cardiac compressions; then take appropriate action.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Electrostatic discharge can damage equipment and electrical circuitry. Electrostatic discharge occurs when electronic printed circuit cards, such as those used in Cisco network modules, are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent equipment failure. Always observe the following electrostatic discharge damage (ESD) prevention procedures when installing, removing, or replacing any electronic printed circuit cards:

■Make sure that the router chassis is electrically connected to earth ground.

■Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap and make sure that it makes good contact with your skin.

■Connect the wrist strap clip to an unpainted portion of the chassis frame to channel unwanted ESD voltages to ground.

Caution: The wrist strap and clip must be used correctly to ensure proper ESD protection. Periodically confirm that the resistance value of the ESD-preventive wrist strap is between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohm).

■If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the router chassis.

General Maintenance Guidelines

The following maintenance guidelines apply to the Cisco Network Interface Module for the Cisco 4G LTE NIM and the Cisco 4G LTE-Advanced NIM:

■Keep the router chassis area clear and dust-free during and after installation.

■If you remove the chassis cover for any reason, store it in a safe place.

■Do not perform any action that creates a hazard to people or makes equipment unsafe.

■Keep walk areas clear to prevent falls or damage to equipment.

■Follow installation and maintenance procedures as documented by Cisco Systems, Inc.

Safety Warnings

The following safety warning statements apply to all hardware procedures involving the Cisco 4G LTE NIM and the Cisco 4G LTE-Advanced NIM for Cisco 4000 series ISRs. Translations of these warnings are available in the Cisco Network Modules and Interface Cards Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document, which ships with all individual NIM orders, and is also available on http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/routers/access/interfaces/rcsi/IOHrcsi.html.

Warning: IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This warning symbol means danger. You are in a situation that could cause bodily injury. Before you work on any equipment, be aware of the hazards involved with electrical circuitry and be familiar with standard practices for preventing accidents. Use the statement number provided at the end of each warning to locate its translation in the translated safety warnings that accompanied this device. Statement 1071

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Warning: Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and watches). Metal objects will heat up when connected to power and ground and can cause serious burns or weld the metal object to the terminals. Statement 43

Warning: Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity. Statement 1001

Warning: To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits to telephone-network voltage (TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Both LAN and WAN ports may use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting cables. Statement 1021

Warning: Hazardous network voltages are present in WAN ports regardless of whether power to the router is OFF or ON. To avoid electric shock, use caution when working near WAN ports. When detaching cables, detach the end away from the router first. Statement 1026

Warning: Read the installation instructions before connecting the system to the power source. Statement 1004

Warning: This unit might have more than one power supply connection. All connections must be removed to de-energize the unit. Statement 1028

Warning: Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment. Statement 1030

Warning: Do not use this product near water; for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool. Statement 1035

Warning: Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations. Statement 1036

Warning: Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface. Statement 1037

Warning: Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning. Statement 1038

Warning: To report a gas leak, do not use a telephone in the vicinity of the leak. Statement 1039

Warning: Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations. Statement 1040

Warning: Before opening the chassis, disconnect the telephone-network cables to avoid contact with telephone-network voltages. Statement 1041

Warning: The telecommunications lines must be disconnected 1) before unplugging the main power connector and/or 2) while the housing is open. Statement 1043

Warning: When installing or replacing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last. Statement 1046

Warning: Do not locate the antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come into contact with such circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme care not to come into contact with such circuits, because they may cause serious injury or death. For proper installation and grounding of the antenna, please refer to national and local codes (for example, U.S.:NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, Article 810, Canada: Canadian Electrical Code, Section 54). Statement 1052

Warning: No user-serviceable parts inside. To avoid risk of electric shock, do not open. Statement 1073

Warning: Installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes. Statement 1074

Before You Begin

Make sure that you connect the wrist-strap clip to an unpainted portion of the chassis frame to channel unwanted ESD voltages to ground.

Procedure

Use the following procedure to install the NIM on your router:

1. Read the “Safety Warnings” section before you perform any module replacement.

2. Remove the blank faceplate installed over the NIM slot of the ISR.

3. Insert the NIM into the router. (See Installing the NIM into a Cisco 4000 Series ISR).

4. Tighten the captive mounting screws on the module faceplate with the help of a number 1 Phillips or flat-blade screwdriver.

5. Check the LEDs and confirm proper operation.

Procedure

Use the following procedure to remove the NIM from your router:

1. Read the “Safety Warnings” section before you perform any module replacement.

2. Locate the NIM card to be removed.

3. Unscrew the captive mounting screws on the module faceplate with the help of a number 1 Phillips or flat-blade screwdriver.

4. Pull the NIM out of the chassis.

5. Place the NIM card in an antistatic bag to protect it from electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage.
