Safety
Safety warnings appear throughout this publication in procedures that can harm you if they are performed incorrectly. A warning symbol precedes each warning statement.
Warning Conventions
Safety Warnings
The following warnings apply when you are installing a card or module or working with the power supply:
Warning
Before working on a system that has an on/off switch, turn OFF the power and unplug the power cord.
Warning
Before opening the chassis, disconnect the telephone-network cables to avoid contact with telephone-network voltages.
Warning
Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.
Warning
Do not touch the power supply when the power cord is connected. For systems with a power switch, line voltages are present within the power supply even when the power switch is off and the power cord is connected. For systems without a power switch, line voltages are present within the power supply when the power cord is connected.
Warning
Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its power source.
Warning
Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations.
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.
Warning
Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install or replace this equipment.
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.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Before installing a VPN module, read the electrostatic discharge (ESD) instructions in this section. ESD is a discharge of stored static electricity that can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. It occurs when electronic components are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent failures.
Following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:
•
Before opening the chassis, turn the router power switch to off ( O ).
•
Disconnect the power cable to the router.
•
Always use an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact.
•
Avoid contact between equipment and clothing. The wrist or ankle strap protects the equipment only from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.
•
Handle printed circuit cards by the edges only; avoid touching the components, traces, or any connector pins.
•
Place a removed card component on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding bag.
•
Do not remove the wrist or ankle strap until the installation is complete.
CautionTo avoid damaging the equipment, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohms).
Warning
During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the router. Do not directly touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself.
