Installation Safety, ESD Precautions, and Tools Required
• Before beginning any procedures requiring access to the chassis interior, locate the emergency
power-off switch for the room in which you are working.
• Disconnect all power and external cables before moving a chassis.
• Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.
• Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit; always check.
• Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe.
• Carefully examine your work area for possible hazards such as moist floors, ungrounded power
extension cables, and missing safety grounds.
In addition, use the guidelines that follow when working with any equipment that is connected to
telephone wiring or other network cabling.
• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet
locations.
• Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line is disconnected at
the network interface.
• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when electronic boards or components are
handled improperly, can result in complete or intermittent failures.
Following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:
• Always use an ESD-preventive wrist strap or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact.
• When removing or installing a power supply, connect the equipment end of a ground strap to the
chassis ground screw on the interface processor end of the chassis, or to an unpainted surface inside
the noninterface processor end of the chassis, such as the chassis frame.
• If you are returning a replaced part to the factory, immediately place it in a static shielding bag to
avoid ESD damage to the board.
• The wrist strap only protects the board from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing
can still cause damage.
Warning
For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should
be between 1 and 10 megohms.
Tools and Parts Required
You need the following tools to install or replace a power supply:
• A 1/4-inch flat-blade and Number 2 Phillips screwdriver.
• Small, wire cutter.
• If the chassis is mounted in an equipment rack, and cables from other equipment fall in front of the
power supply bays, you will need cable ties to temporarily anchor the cables out of the way.
