Safety Guidelines
Before you perform any procedure in this publication, review the safety guidelines in this section to
avoid injuring yourself or damaging the equipment.
The following guidelines are for your safety and to protect the equipment. The guidelines do not include
all hazards. Be alert.
Note Review the safety warnings listed in the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for
Cisco 12000 Series Internet Routers publication (Document Number 78-4347-xx) for your router
before installing, configuring, or maintaining the GRP.
• Keep the work area clear and dust free during and after installation. Do not allow dirt or debris to
enter into any components.
• Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, or other items that could get caught in the router while working
with the GRP.
• The GRP operates safely when it is used in accordance with its specifications and product usage
instructions.
• Review all safety and ESD-prevention guidelines to help you to avoid injury or damage to the
equipment.
• Ensure that your equipment configuration meets the minimum requirements for the upgrade or
replacement you will perform and that you have all the parts and tools you need.
• If you plan to replace a GRP, back up your current configuration file to a remote server or to Flash
memory before you remove the GRP. This prevents you from having to reenter all your current
configuration information manually. To back up the file, copy your configuration file to a Flash disk
or access a remote server.
