Preventing Damage to Your Router Use the following guidelines when connecting devices to your router: • Connect the color-coded cables supplied by Cisco to the color-coded ports on the back panel. • If you must supply additional cables, we strongly recommend ordering the cables from your Cisco 700 series router vendor. Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a transfer of electrostatic charge between bodies of different electrostatic potentials, such as an operator and a piece of electrical equipment. It occurs when electronic components are improperly handled, and it can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. Electrostatic discharge is more likely to occur with the combination of synthetic fibers and dry atmosphere. Always use the following ESD-prevention procedures when removing and replacing components: Step 1 Connect the chassis to earth ground with a wire that you provide. Step 2 Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap that you provide, ensuring that it makes good skin contact. Connect the clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to safely channel unwanted ESD voltages to ground. To properly guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate effectively. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis. Always follow the guidelines in the preceding section, "Safety." Step 3 Do not touch any exposed contact pins or connector shells of interface ports that do not have a cable attached. If cables are connected at one end only, do not touch the exposed pins at the unconnected end of the cable. Note This device is intended for use in residential and commercial environments only.

Preventing Damage to Your Router
Use the following guidelines when connecting devices to your router:
•
Connect the color-coded cables supplied by Cisco to the color-coded ports on the back
panel.
•
If you must supply additional cables, we strongly recommend ordering the cables from
your Cisco 700 series router vendor.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a transfer of electrostatic charge between bodies of
different electrostatic potentials, such as an operator and a piece of electrical equipment. It
occurs when electronic components are improperly handled, and it can damage equipment
and impair electrical circuitry. Electrostatic discharge is more likely to occur with the
combination of synthetic fibers and dry atmosphere.
Always use the following ESD-prevention procedures when removing and replacing
components:
Step 1
Connect the chassis to earth ground with a wire that you provide.
Step 2
Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap that you provide, ensuring that it makes
good skin contact.
Connect the clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to safely channel
unwanted ESD voltages to ground. To properly guard against ESD damage and
shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate effectively. If no wrist strap is
available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis. Always
follow the guidelines in the preceding section, “Safety.”
Step 3
Do not touch any exposed contact pins or connector shells of interface ports that
do not have a cable attached.
If cables are connected at one end only, do not touch the exposed pins at the
unconnected end of the cable.
