Attaching the antistatic wrist strap
Nortel ships the VPN Router 1750 with an antistatic wrist strap, which directs the
discharge of static electricity from your body to the chassis of the gateway to
avoid damage to sensitive electronic components.
You must wear an antistatic wrist strap on your arm when you remove, install, or
handle option cards and DIMMs.
To attach the antistatic wrist strap, perform the following steps:
1 Locate the antistatic wrist strap, and then verify that the cable is attached to it.
2 Place the strap around your wrist, and then adjust the strap to ensure that the
metal buckle inside the strap touches your skin.
3 Insert the banana plug into the grounding jack at the rear of the chassis as
shown in the following figure.
