Attaching the antistatic wrist strap
Nortel ships the VPN Router 2700 with an antistatic wrist strap. The antistatic 
wrist strap directs the discharge of static electricity from your body to the chassis 
of the gateway to avoid damage to sensitive electronic components.
You must wear an antistatic wrist strap on your arm when you remove, install, or 
handle option cards and DIMMs.
To attach the antistatic wrist strap:
1
Locate the antistatic wrist strap, and verify that the cable is attached to the 
wrist strap.
2
Place the strap around your wrist, and adjust the strap to ensure that the metal 
buckle inside the strap touches your skin.
3
Insert the banana plug into the grounding jack at the rear of the chassis 
.
