Model 3125 installation

The resource and transition modules can easily be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD) resulting from the build-up of electri- cal potential on clothing and other materials.

To avid damaging the 3125 modules, perform the following safety and ESD preventive measures:

•Attach a ground strap to your wrist when connecting, discon- necting, or handling the modles. Connect the other end of the strap to a grounded surface.

•Keep the module in anti-static bags until they are needed.

•Remove a board from its anti-static bag only after you are cor- rectly grounded by a ground strap.

•Place the modules only on an anti-static mat. Do not place boards on top of an anti-static bag unless the outside of the bag also provides anti-static protection.

Verify that the chassis rack is properly grounded before installing the Model3125. An adequate ground can be achieved by con- necting a #10 AWG ground wire between the chassis rack ground stud and one of the following ground sources:

•The building ground rod (generally located at the site’s main service entrance)

•A sprinkler pipe

•A cold water pipe

•Building structural steel

Installing the 3125TM Transition Module

1.If necessary, refer to the instructions in your chassis user manual to remove any outer covers so you can access the cPCI rack card cages.

2.If there is not a slot filler panel installed, go to step 3. Otherwise, remove the two screws (located at the top of the filler panel and at the bottom) that secure the panel to the card cage.

3.Remove the 3125TM Transition Module from its anti-static bag.

Note Be sure to wear the anti-static strap to prevent electrostatic damage to the module.

Note The module should be installed as close as possible to the termination jack provided by the Telco. The location should be well ventilated. Do not block the chassis rack cooling vents.
