Attaching the antistatic wrist strap

Nortel ships the VPN Router 5000 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, DIMMs, power supplies, hard disk drives, and fan trays.
