Install the Cards
Perform the following steps to install a card:
1. Put on an ESD wrist strap (one is shipped with the system), and attach it to an appropriate grounded
surface.
2. Select the slot for the card using the configuration rules provided in the “Select the Slots” subsection.
3. Remove the card from its antistatic bag. Save the bag for later use.
4. Align the card with the card guides at the top and bottom of the slot.

Caution
Risk of ESD damage. The system cards contain electrostatic-sensitive devices. To reduce the
risk of ESD damage, always use an ESD wrist or ankle strap when handling a card. Avoid
touching its printed circuit board, subassemblies, or any connector pins.
Note
Do not attach the wrist strap to a painted surface; an ESD convenience jack is located on the
front of the fan tray.
Laser
Risk of severe damage to your eyes. All versions of the optical cards are Class 1 products,
which use lasers to convert electrical signals to optical signals that can damage your eyes. To
reduce the risk when handling these optical cards, keep the connectors covered until you are
ready to connect the fiber-optic cables. When you remove a cover, do not stare into the
connector or directly view the laser beam emerging from the connector.
Caution
Risk of equipment damage. Because of the high density and compact design of the
SmartEdge 1200 router, the underside of the card might rub against the electromagnetic
interference (EMI) gasket of the card in the adjacent slot during card insertion, and potentially
damage the card. To reduce this risk, if you feel any resistance (the card does not slide
smoothly without effort), or hear the card touching the components on the card installed in the
adjacent slot at the left, do not force the card into the slot. Ensure that the card is perpendicular
to the slot. If you feel any resistance, slightly shift the left edge of the front panel to the right
until it can slide easily into the slot.
