Caution
When handling router components, wear an ESD strap and handle modules by their handles and carrier

must be grounded through the power cable, the chassis ground, or the metal-to-metal contact with a
grounded rack.
Note
Caution
If the rack is on wheels, ensure that the brakes are engaged or that the rack is otherwise stabilized.

Caution
To prevent loss of input power, ensure the total maximum loads on the circuits supplying power to the
