Danger
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Many router components can be damaged by static electricity. Not exercising the proper electrostatic discharge
(ESD) precautions can result in intermittent or complete component failures. To minimize the potential for
ESD damage, always use an ESD-preventive antistatic wrist strap (or ankle strap) and ensure that it makes
good skin contact.
Check the resistance value of the ESD-preventive strap periodically. The measurement should be between
1 and 10 megohms.
Note
Before you perform any procedure in this guide, attach an ESD-preventive strap to your wrist and connect
the leash to the chassis as shown in the figure below.
