Warning
Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its power source.
Warning
Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install or replace this equipment.
Warning
Before working on a chassis or working near power supplies, unplug the power cord on AC units; disconnect the power at the circuit breaker on DC units.
Warning
Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations.

Safety with Electricity

Warning
Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and watches). Metal objects will heat up when connected to power and ground and can cause serious burns or weld the metal object to the terminals.
Warning
To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits to telephone-network voltage (TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Both LAN and WAN ports may use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting cables.
Warning
Hazardous network voltages are present in WAN ports regardless of whether power to the router is OFF or ON. To avoid electric shock, use caution when working near WAN ports. When detaching cables, detach the end away from the router first.
Warning
Before opening the chassis, disconnect the telephone-network cables to avoid contact with telephone-network voltages.
Warning
Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.
Warning
Do not touch the power supply when the power cord is connected. For systems with a power switch, line voltages are present within the power supply even when the power switch is OFF and the power cord is connected. For systems without a power switch, line voltages are present within the power supply when the power cord is connected.

Follow these guidelines when working on equipment powered by electricity:

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. ESD can occur when printed circuit cards are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent failures. Always follow ESD prevention procedures when removing and replacing cards. Ensure that the router chassis is electrically connected to earth ground. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good skin contact. Connect the clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to safely channel unwanted ESD voltages to ground. To guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must be used properly. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis.

Caution
For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which should be between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohm).

Rack-Mount Configuration Guidelines

You can mount the Cisco 3620 and Cisco 3640 routers in a 19-inch rack (with a 17.5- or 17.75-inch opening), or a 23- or 24-inch rack.

The Cisco 3660 router can be mounted in a 19-inch rack (with a 17.5- or 17.75-inch opening) or a 23-inch rack.

The following information will help you plan your equipment rack configuration:

Warning
