Tools Required
The customer-provided tools required for the hardware installation of the NetVanta are:
• Ethernet cables
• Network cables (module dependent)
• DSX-1 cable (T1/FT1 + DSX-1 module only)
• Phillips-head screwdriver (rack-mounted applications only)
To prevent electrical shock, do not install equipment in a wet location or during a
lightning storm.
Electronic modules can be damaged by static electrical discharge. Before handling
modules, put on an antistatic discharge wrist strap to prevent damage to electrical
components. Place modules in antistatic packing material when transporting or storing.
When working on modules, always place them on an approved antistatic mat that is
electrically grounded.

Ethernet and PoE cables are intended for intra building use only. They should not be run
outside the building.
