Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage; Tools And Parts Required - Cisco 12012 Installation Instructions Manual

In addition, use the guidelines that follow when working with any equipment that is disconnected
from a power source, but still connected to telephone or network wiring:
•
Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
•
Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet
locations.
•
Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been
disconnected at the network interface.
•
Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Electrostatic discharge damage, which can occur when electronic boards or components are handled
improperly, can result in complete or intermittent failures.
Following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:
•
Always use an ESD-preventive wrist strap or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin
contact.
•
When removing or installing a horizontal cable-management tray or vertical cable-management
bracket, connect the equipment end of a ground strap to one of the two ESD ground sockets
located on the front sides of the upper card cage or to a bare metal surface on the frame.
•
If you plan to return a replaced part to the factory, immediately place it in a static shielding bag
to avoid ESD damage to the part.
•
The wrist strap only protects the part from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing
can still cause damage.
Caution
measurement should be between 1 and 10 megohms.

Tools and Parts Required

You need the following tools and parts to install or replace a horizontal cable-management tray or
vertical cable-management bracket:
•
3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver
•
ESD-preventive wrist strap
•
A cable-management kit (Product Number ACS-GSR12-CCBLM=) or a vertical
cable-management kit (Product Number ACS-GSR-LCCBLM=)
You should periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The
