Safety Precautions

! Remove all jewelry that can act as a conductor of electricity such as watches, rings,

bracelets, and necklaces.

 

 

 

! Prior to making any power connections, locate the emergency power-off switch and

ensure that the path between where the G10 CMTS will be installed and the power-off

switch is unobstructed.

 

 

 

! Prior to making any power connections, survey the immediate area to ensure that no

additional electrical safety hazards exist (such as ungrounded equipment or power

cords, or damp, moist areas that could conduct electricity).

 

 

 

! Ensure that the power supply switches on the rear of the G10 CMTS are in the OFF (O)

position prior to connecting any power cords.

 

 

 

! Use the factory-supplied AC power cords. These cords are grounded and appropriately

rated for the G10 CMTS.

 

 

 

! Use the factory-supplied DC power cord ring lugs, and wire according to your local code

for the DC power cord connection to the G10 CMTS.

 

 

 

! Attach all power cords to their appropriate terminals (AC or DC) in the rear of the G10

CMTS prior to plugging any power cord into its respective power source (AC or DC).

 

 

 

! Never apply excessive force when attaching a power cord to a terminal or power source

if it does not readily mate with ease. Having to apply an unusual amount of force might

indicate that electrical leads are bent and damaged, or that an improper connection is

being attempted.

 

 

 

! Ensure that the G10 CMTS chassis is properly grounded to earth prior to connecting any

source of power. See “Ground the Chassis” on page 94 for more details.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

During the preparation and installation of the G10 CMTS,

 

 

 

 

we strongly recommend that you adhere to the

 

 

 

 

precautions presented in this section to avoid damaging

 

 

 

 

the G10 CMTS.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

! Before handling any G10 CMTS module, always wear an ESD ground strap that is

connected to the ESD strap jack located on the front of the chassis.

 

 

 

! Leave all modules in the anti-static bags they are shipped in until you are ready to install

the modules into the G10 CMTS.

 

 

 

! Handle all modules by their card edges or ejectors and avoid directly touching any

component on a module.

 

 

 

! Ensure that all modules and power supplies are properly aligned and mated to their

respective midplane connectors prior to powering up the G10 CMTS. Check that all

captive retainer screws are securely tightened according to the torque specifications

provided herein.

 

 

 

! Air management modules and air management panels must always be installed in

empty slots while operating the G10 CMTS to ensure that proper air ventilation occurs

throughout the chassis, and to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions.
