Installing IOMs
Warnings and Notes
Warning:
• Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur if IOMs, SF/CPMs, or MDAs are
mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap and always connect an
ESD strap to the grounding plug on the front of the chassis.
• Always place router components on an anti-static surface.
• Do not power up the 7450 ESS-7 router until all components are installed and verified.
• Blank panels and faceplates are required in all empty card and component slots to prevent
excess dust accumulation and to help control airflow and electromagnetic interference.
Faceplate blanks do not have board components or connector pins.
