ESD Precautions

Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to the chassis, its sub-components and/or the cards installed in
the chassis. To prevent damage from ESD, you must take proper grounding precautions before handling the chassis or
any of its components.
The chassis and its mounting brackets are equipped with ESD jacks (see the figure below). Use the jacks in conjunction
with grounding wrist straps when handling the chassis and/or its components. The following figure shows the location
of the jacks.
Before the you can use the ESD jacks on the ASR 5500 chassis and its mounting brackets, you must first connect the
chassis to ground according to the instructions in the Chassis Installation chapter of this document.
