Preventing Damage to the Router
Before installation, observe these general guidelines:
• Proper ESD protection should be observed.
• Ensure the router is properly grounded.
• Ensure there is proper airflow around the router.
If you must supply your own cable, see the Technical Specifications, on page 43 for cabling specifications.
If this appendix does not provide specifications for a particular cable, we strongly recommend ordering the
cable from Cisco.
The intra-building ports of the equipment or subassembly is suitable for connection to intra-building or
unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly MUST NOT
be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the OSP or its wiring.These interfaces are designed for
use as intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE) and require
isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient protection in
order to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.
Warning
The intra-building ports of the equipment or subassembly must use shielded intra-building cabling/wiring
that is grounded at both ends.
