Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Many router components can be damaged by static electricity. Not exercising the proper electrostatic
discharge (ESD) precautions can result in intermittent or complete component failures. To minimize the
potential for ESD damage, always use an ESD-preventive antistatic wrist strap (or ankle strap) and
ensure that it makes good skin contact.
Note Check the resistance value of the ESD-preventive strap periodically. The measurement should be
between 1 and 10 megohms.
Before you perform any procedure in this guide, attach an ESD-preventive strap to your wrist and
connect the leash to the chassis as shown in Figure 1-3.

Lifting Guidelines
A fully-configured Cisco ASR 9001 Router can weigh as much as 37.91 pounds (17.2 kg). These
systems are not intended to be moved frequently. Before you install the router, ensure that you have
planned the installation and migration of the router into your network so that you can avoid having to
move the router later to accommodate power sources and network connections.
Use these lifting guidelines to avoid injury to yourself or damage to the equipment:
