Cisco Systems 1805 DOCSIS Manual De Usuario

This chapter describes installing and replacing CompactFlash memory cards in Cisco 1805 DOCSIS 
cable router. You can perform these procedures when the router has been installed in its working location 
with all power and interface cables connected. This chapter contains the following sections:

CompactFlash memory cards are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. ESD damage, which 
can occur when electronic cards or components are handled improperly, results in intermittent or 
complete failures.

To prevent ESD damage, follow these guidelines:

Always use an ESD wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact.

Connect the equipment end of the strap to an unfinished chassis surface.

Place a removed CompactFlash memory card on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding bag. If 
the card will be returned to the factory, immediately place it in a static shielding bag.

Avoid contact between the card and clothing. The wrist strap protects the card from ESD voltages 
on the body only; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.

Do not remove the wrist strap until the installation is complete.

For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be 
between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohms). 

This section describes how to remove and install CompactFlash memory cards.
