X7-8 Director Hardware Installation Guide
•
The CR64-8 core routing blade is compatible only with the X7-8 Director.
•
Wear an appropriately grounded ESD wrist strap when handling and installing blades and cards. Follow electrostatic
discharge (ESD) precautions. Wear a wrist grounding strap connected to a chassis ground (if the chassis is plugged in)
or a bench ground.
•
Install core routing blades only in slots 7–8. These blades cannot be installed in other slots because guide pins and
connectors in each slot allow only specific blade types.
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megaohm resistor.
CAUTION
If you do not install a module or a power supply in a slot, you must keep the slot filler panel in place. If you run
the chassis with an uncovered slot, the system will overheat.
CAUTION
Static electricity can damage the chassis and other electronic devices. To avoid damage, keep static-sensitive
devices in their static-protective packages until you are ready to install them.
CAUTION
Before plugging a cable into any port, be sure to discharge the voltage stored on the cable by touching the
electrical contacts to ground surface.
CAUTION
To avoid damaging blade and chassis, do not push the blade into a slot or pull the blade from a slot using the
ejector handles.
