12 Installing the Hardware March 2005
Using the Grounding Wrist Strap and
Chassis Grounding Lug
Because electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage switch
components such as the Network Interface (NI) and CMMs,
you must ground yourself properly before continuing with the
hardware installation. For this purpose, Alcatel provides a
grounding wrist strap and a grounding lug located near the
bottom-right of the chassis.
To properly ground yourself, follow the steps below.
1 Fasten the provided grounding strap to your wrist.
2 Insert the wrist strap’s connector pin (located at the end
of the strap’s tether) into the grounding lug near the
bottom-right of the chassis, as shown.
Note. The grounding lug diagram at left is a general
diagram only. It is intended to show the location of the
grounding lug. No NI modules or CMMs should be
installed in your chassis at this time.
Important. For the grounding wrist strap to be effective
in eliminating ESD, the power supplies must be installed
in the chassis and plugged into grounded electrical outlets
as described on page 11.
