Safety Considerations
Placement
Grounding
Warning:
• Install the 7450 ESS-7 chassis in standard sized equipment racks. The 7450 ESS-7 is shipped
with the 19-inch rack mounting brackets installed.
• In clean, dry, ventilated, and temperature-controlled rooms.
• Verify that the rack is properly bolted and braced and is properly grounded to a grounding
electrode.
• Install the chassis into the equipment rack before installing components.
Warning:
• Chassis ground cables are not included. Use only power cords that have a grounding (earthing)
path. Main grounding (earthing) connection points are through the IEC60320 appliance inlets.
Grounding (earthing) points on the sides of the equipment are for equipotential bonding only and
are not the safety grounding (earthing) points for the equipment. Lack of proper grounding
(earthing) of the equipment may result in a safety hazard and excessive electromagnetic
emissions.
• The router and equipment rack must be properly grounded. Electrostatic discharge (ESD)
damage can occur if components are mishandled.
• Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap in contact with bare skin. Always connect
the ESD strap (with banana plug) to the ESD connection socket (grounding jack) on the front of
the chassis on the left side of the SF/CPM slot A.
