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
Warning 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 1021
Warning Connect the unit only to DC power source that complies with the safety extra-low voltage (SELV)
requirements in IEC 60950 based safety standards. Statement 1033

– Installing or removing a router chassis
Working near power supplies
–
Performing most hardware upgrades
–
Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.
Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit. Always check.

extension cables, and missing safety grounds.
If an electrical accident occurs, proceed as follows:
Use caution; do not become a victim yourself.
–
Turn off power to the router.
–
