Creating a Site Log

The Site Log provides a record of all the actions related to installing and maintaining the router. Keep it in
an accessible place near the chassis so that anyone who performs tasks has access to it.
Create the Site Log prior to the installation. (See Site Log for more information about the Site Log as well as
a sample Site Log that can be used to make copies.)

Chassis-Lifting Guidelines

The chassis is not intended to be moved frequently. Before you install the system, ensure that your site is
properly prepared so that you can avoid having to move the chassis later to accommodate power sources and
network connections.
Each time you lift the chassis or any heavy object, follow these guidelines:
• Ensure that your footing is solid, and balance the weight of the chassis between your feet.
• Lift the chassis slowly; never move suddenly or twist your body as you lift.
• Keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back. If you must bend down to lift the chassis,
• Do not remove installed components from the chassis.
• Always disconnect all external cables before lifting or moving the chassis.
Caution Lift the unit by holding from both the sides.

Tools and Equipment

You need the following tools and equipment to install and upgrade the router and its components:
• ESD-preventive cord and wrist strap
• Antistatic mat or antistatic foam
• Number 1 and Number 2 Phillips-head screwdrivers
