Attaching the Antistatic Wrist Strap
Each BLN, BLN-2, BCN, and BCN RLC ships with an antistatic wrist strap. You
must wear an antistatic strap whenever you
• Remove, install, and handle memory cards
• Remove, install, configure, and handle hardware modules, including Fast
Routing Engine (FRE or FRE-2) modules, the SRM-F (System Resource
Module-Front), or any link modules
• Remove and replace module fuses
The antistatic wrist strap directs the discharge of static electricity from your body
to the chassis of the hardware platform, thereby avoiding discharge to, and
possible damage of, sensitive electronic components.
For BLN, BLN-2, BCN, and BCN RLC routers, locate the antistatic wrist strap on
the inside of the front bezel (front panel). Refer to “Removing and Replacing the
Front Bezel” earlier in this chapter for instructions.
Attach the antistatic wrist strap as follows:
1. Remove the front bezel.
2. Remove the antistatic wrist strap from the package attached to the back
of the front bezel.
3. Verify that the cable attaches to the wrist strap.
4. Place the strap around your wrist.
5. Adjust the strap to ensure that the metal buckle inside the strap contacts
your skin.
6. Insert the jack into the antistatic receptacle (Figure 4-4).
Caution: Electrostatic discharge can damage hardware. Follow the procedure
in this section to protect your equipment from damage.
