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.
λ Ensure the connector is connected to above Model’s board tightly.
