Chapter 2 Preparing for Router Installation
General Site Requirements
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. It can occur if
electronic printed circuit cards are improperly handled and can cause complete or intermittent failures.
Always follow ESD prevention procedures when removing and replacing modules:
• Ensure that the router chassis is electrically connected to ground.
• Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good skin contact. Connect the clip to
an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to channel unwanted ESD voltages safely to ground. To
guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate effectively.
• If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching a metal part of the chassis.
Caution For the safety of your equipment, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. It should
be between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohm).
General Site Requirements
This section describes the requirements your site must meet for safe installation and operation of your
router. Ensure that the site is properly prepared before beginning installation. If you are experiencing
shutdowns or unusually high errors with your existing equipment, this section can also help you isolate
the cause of failures and prevent future problems.
General Precautions
Observe the following general precautions when using and working with your Cisco ISR 4451-X.
• Keep your system components away from radiators and heat sources and do not block cooling vents.
• Do not spill food or liquids on your system components and never operate the product in a wet
environment.
• Do not push any objects into the openings of your system components. Doing so can cause fire or
electric shock by shorting out interior components.
• Position system cables and power supply cables carefully. Route system cables and the power supply
cable and plug so that they cannot be stepped on or tripped over. Be sure that nothing else rests on
your system component cables or power cable.
• Do not modify power cables or plugs. Consult a licensed electrician or your power company for site
modifications. Always follow your local and national wiring rules.
• If you turn off your system, wait at least 30 seconds before turning it on again to avoid system
component damage.
Site Selection Guidelines
The Cisco ISR 4451-Xs require specific environmental operating conditions. Temperature, humidity,
altitude, and vibration can affect the performance and reliability of the router. The following sections
provide specific information to help you plan for the proper operating environment.
