Precautions specific to the blade

This document describes how to remove and replace a core routing blade.
Observe the following precautions when replacing these blades:
v The CR32-4 core routing blade is compatible only with the SAN256B-6 .
v Wear an appropriately grounded ESD wrist strap when handling and installing blades and cards.
Follow electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions. Wear a wrist grounding strap connected to chassis
ground (if the chassis is plugged in) or a bench ground.
v Install core routing blades only in slots 5-6. These blades cannot be installed in other slots as guide
pins and connectors in each slot allow only specific blade types.
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megaohm resistor.
