Connecting the Cisco Network Interface Module Adapter for SM-X Slot on the Cisco 4000 Seris Integrated Services
Make sure that the router chassis is electrically connected to earth ground.
Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, and make sure that it makes good contact with your skin.
Connect the wrist strap clip to an unpainted portion of the chassis frame to channel unwanted ESD
voltages to ground.
The wrist strap and clip must be used correctly to ensure proper ESD protection. Periodically
confirm that the resistance value of the ESD-preventive wrist strap is between 1 and 10
megohms (Mohm).
If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the router chassis.
Keep the router chassis area clear and dust-free during and after installation.
If you remove the chassis cover for any reason, store it in a safe place.
Do not perform any action that creates a hazard to people or makes equipment unsafe.
Keep walk areas clear to prevent falls or damage to equipment.
Follow installation and maintenance procedures as documented by Cisco Systems, Inc.
