Chapter 3 Preparing to Install a Cisco 7600 Series Ethernet Services Plus Line Card

Safety Guidelines

Telephone Wiring Guidelines

Use the following guidelines when working with any equipment that is connected to telephone wiring or to 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 has been 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 cards or components are improperly handled, results in complete or intermittent failures. An Cisco 7600 Series ES+ line card comprises printed circuit boards that are fixed ina metal carrier. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and connectors are integral components of the carrier. Although the metal carrier helps to protect the board from ESD, use a preventive antistatic strap during handling.

Following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:

•Always use an ESD wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact.

•Connect the equipment end of the strap to an unfinished chassis surface.

•When installing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to properly seat the bus connectors in the backplane or midplane. These devices prevent accidental removal, provide proper grounding for the system, and help to ensure that bus connectors are properly seated.

•When removing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to release the bus connectors from the backplane or midplane.

•Handle carriers by available handles or edges only; avoid touching the printed circuit boards or connectors.

•Place a removed board component-side-up on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding container. If you plan to return the component to the factory, immediately place it in a static shielding container.

•Avoid contact between the printed circuit boards and clothing. The wrist strap only protects components from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.

•Never attempt to remove the printed circuit board from the metal carrier.

Caution For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohms).
