Note: For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be within the range of 1 and 10 Mohms.
Installation
The following installation process describes the procedure for shutting down the interfaces on which you will replace connector locks, removing the
Note: Although shutting down an interface before replacing the lock is not required, Cisco Systems recommends that you do so as a precaution to protect the electronic components in the system and to avoid creating problems on your network.
Shutting Down Interfaces
It is unlikely that interface ports will be enabled if you have not been able to connect the network interface cables. However, if any of the interfaces are already enabled, you can avoid potential problems by administratively shutting the interface down and, when the replacement is complete, enabling the interface again with commands you enter from the console terminal.
