4. Hardware Installation
The following sections in this chapter describe how to install AG-623C Module
4.1. Installation Overview
AG-623C wireless module is design for Access Point, Router, ATU-R, Printer Server series, IP Camera
series and Internet Video Server only.
4.2. Safety Recommendations
The safety guidelines are as follows:
λ Keep the board area clear and dust-free before, during, and after installation.
λ Keep tools away from walk areas where you and others could fall over them.
λ Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry, such as earrings, bracelets, or chains, that could get
caught in the board.
λ Wear safety glasses if you are working under any conditions that might be hazardous to your
eyes.
λ Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes
the equipment unsafe.
λ Never attempt to lift an object that is too heavy for one person to handle.
4.3. Maintaining Safety with Electricity
Warning: Before working on a board or working near power supplies, unplug the power cord on AC units;
on DC units, disconnect the power at the circuit breaker.
Follow these guidelines when working on equipment powered by electricity:
λ Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist anywhere in your
work space.
λ Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit; always check the
circuit.
extension cables, frayed power cords, and missing safety grounds.
λ If an electrical accident occurs, proceed as follows:
Use caution; do not become a victim yourself.
Disconnect power from the system.
If possible, send another person to get medical aid. Otherwise, assess the condition of the victim
and then call for help.
Determine if the person needs rescue breathing or external cardiac compressions; then take
appropriate action.

4.4. Installing a AG-623C
λ Remove the AG-623C module from its protective packaging.
λ Avoiding Electrostatic Discharge
Before you install the AG-623C module, ground yourself by touching a piece of metal
to avoid electrostatic discharge (ESD). You should also take the following
precautions to prevent damage to the AG-623C module:
λ Keep the AG-623C module in its antistatic-shielded bag until
you are ready to install it.
λ Handle the AG-623C module by its edges.
