Connection Procedures and Precautions
To properly connect cables:
Step 1
Connect each WAN and LAN cable to the appropriate connector on the chassis or on an interface card.
Step 2 Position the cables carefully, so that they do not put strain on the connectors.
Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity. Statement
1001
To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits to telephone-network
voltage (TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Some
LAN and WAN ports both use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting cables. Statement 1021
Hazardous network voltages are present in WAN ports regardless of whether power to the unit is OFF
or ON. To avoid electric shock, use caution when working near WAN ports. When detaching cables,
detach the end away from the unit first. Statement 1026
