DANGER: Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the ends of

fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cable connected to a

transceiver emit laser light that can damage your eyes.

CAUTION: Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered except when inserting

or removing cable. The safety cap keeps the port clean and prevents accidental

exposure to laser light.

CAUTION: Avoid bending fiber-optic cable beyond its minimum bend radius. An arc

smaller than a few inches in diameter can damage the cable and cause problems

that are difficult to diagnose.

CAUTION: Do not let fiber-optic cable hang free from the connector. Do not allow

fastened loops of cable to dangle, which stresses the cable at the fastening point.

Step 5: Connect Ground and Power Cables

Depending on your configuration, your router uses either AC or DC power supplies.

Perform the appropriate procedures for each power supply in your router.

Insert the cable connector into the cable connector port on the faceplate.

Arrange the cable in the cable management system to prevent it from dislodging

or developing stress points. Secure the cable so that it is not supporting its own

weight as it hangs to the floor. Place excess cable out of the way in a neatly

coiled loop in the cable management system. Placing fasteners on the loop helps

to maintain its shape.

Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist and

connect the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.

Connect the grounding cable to a proper earth ground.

Verify that a licensed electrician has attached the cable lug provided with the

router to the grounding cable.

Make sure that grounding surfaces are clean and brought to a bright finish before

grounding connections are made.
