Related Information
To prevent ESD damage, follow these guidelines:
•
Always use an ESD wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact.
•
Connect the equipment end of the strap to an unfinished chassis surface.
•
Place any removed memory card on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding bag. If the card will
be returned to the factory, immediately place it in a static shielding bag.
•
Avoid contact between the card and clothing. The wrist strap protects the card from ESD voltages
on the body only; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.
•
Do not remove the wrist strap until the installation is complete.
Cabling Guidelines
Follow these guidelines for using cables with the router:
•
Position cables so that they do not place strain on the router connectors.
•
Organize cables into bundles when necessary to avoid intertwining.
•
Inspect cables to ensure adequate routing and bend radius.
•
Install cable ties that comply with your site requirements.
