2 Replacing the Boot ROMs in the Cisco 2500 Series and AccessPro PC Card Routers
Removing the Cover or AccessPro PC Card
• Connect the equipment end of the strap to an unpainted surface on the chassis frame or another
proper grounding point or surface. Attach it to the inside bottom of the chassis or to the rear panel
(inside or outside) without making contact with any connectors.
• Avoid contact between equipment and clothing. The wrist or ankle strap only protects the
equipment from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.
• Handle printed circuit cards by the edges only; avoid touching the components, traces, or any
connector pins.
• Place a removed card component side up on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding bag. If
the component is being returned to the factory, immediately place it in a static shielding bag.
• Do not remove the wrist or ankle strap until the installation is complete.
Caution To avoid damaging the equipment, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic
strap. The measurement should be between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohms).
