Chapter 8 Preparation for Installation
Software and Hardware Requirements
•Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.
•Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
Electrostatic Discharge Prevention
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damages equipment and impairs electrical circuitry. ESD occurs when printed circuit boards are improperly handled and results in complete or intermittent failures.
The network processing engine or network services engine, I/O controller, port adapters, and
Cisco uBR7200 series cable interface line cards consist of printed circuit boards that are fixed in a metal carrier. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, connectors, and a handle are integral components of the carrier. Handle the network processing engine or network services engine, I/O controller, port adapters, and Cisco uBR7200 series cable interface line cards by their carrier edges and handles; never touch the printed circuit board or connector pins.
Figure 8-2 shows the location of a printed circuit board in a network processing engine or network services engine, I/O controller, or Cisco uBR7200 series cable interface line card metal carrier. Do not touch the printed circuit board when handling any of the components.
