•Safety Guidelines, page 1-2

•Site Requirement Guidelines, page 1-5

In particular, observe the guidelines for preventing electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage described in the “Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage” section on page 1-4. Use Figure 1-3as a reference in locating and using the ESD sockets on the front of the router chassis.

For additional safety and compliance information, see the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers document that accompanied your router.
