Warnings and Notes
Warning:
• Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur if components are mishandled.
Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap and always connect an ESD strap
to the grounding plug on the front of the chassis.
• Impedance panels are required in all empty slots to prevent excess dust accumulation
and to help control airflow and electromagnetic interference. Impedance panels do not
have board components or connector pins.
Note:
General:
• When replacing CPM-a cards, configuration modifications are not required.
• The 7750 SR-a chassis requires a minimum of one CPM-a to operate, but two are
recommended for redundancy.
