64 Chapter 4 Installing option cards and DIMMs
Attaching the antistatic wrist strap
Nortel ships the VPN Router 2700 with an antistatic wrist strap. The antistatic wrist strap directs the discharge of static electricity from your body to the chassis of the gateway to avoid damage to sensitive electronic components.
You must wear an antistatic wrist strap on your arm when you remove, install, or handle option cards and DIMMs.
Caution: Risk of equipment damage
Electrostatic discharge can damage hardware. Follow the procedure in this section to protect your equipment from damage.
To attach the antistatic wrist strap:
1Locate the antistatic wrist strap, and verify that the cable is attached to the wrist strap.
2Place the strap around your wrist, and adjust the strap to ensure that the metal buckle inside the strap touches your skin.
3Insert the banana plug into the grounding jack at the rear of the chassis (Figure 23).
