Fire Safety Requirements for Juniper Networks Hardware Equipment

Many router hardware components are sensitive to damage from static electricity. Some
components can be impaired by voltages as low as 30 V. You can easily generate
potentially damaging static voltages whenever you handle plastic or foam packing
material or if you move components across plastic or carpets. Observe the following
guidelines to minimize the potential for electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which
can cause intermittent or complete component failures:
Always use an ESD wrist strap or ankle strap, and make sure that it is in direct contact
with your skin.
When handling any component that is removed from the chassis, make sure the
equipment end of your ESD strap is attached to one of the electrostatic discharge
points on the chassis.
Avoid contact between the component and your clothing. ESD voltages emitted from
clothing can still damage components.
CAUTION:
For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the ESD
strap. The measurement should be in the range of 1 to 10 Mohms.

General Fire Safety Requirements
In the event of a fire emergency involving routers and other network equipment, the safety
of people is the primary concern. Establish procedures for protecting people in the event
of a fire emergency, provide safety training, and properly provision fire-control equipment
and fire extinguishers.
In addition, establish procedures to protect your equipment in the event of a fire
emergency. Juniper Networks products should be installed in an environment suitable
for electronic equipment. We recommend that fire suppression equipment be available
in the event of a fire in the vicinity of the equipment, and that all local fire, safety, and
electrical codes and ordinances be observed when installing and operating your
equipment.
Fire Suppression
In the event of an electrical hazard or an electrical fire, first turn power off to the equipment
at the source. Then use a Type C fire extinguisher, which uses noncorrosive fire retardants,
to extinguish the fire.
