 Inspect all pin connectors for damage before using them on each module.
 Inspect each module for damage before inserting the component into the shelf.
 Store uninstalled cards separately in a shielded box.
 Do not stack cards on or against each other.
 Do not force cards into their packaging material.
 Do not store several cards in the same container.
 Allow each module to reach room temperature before you insert the module into the shelf.
 When not in use store pluggable modules in their protective static-dissipative containers to
prevent damage to the exposed connector terminals.
 Leave spare cards in the original shielded containers until you need the cards.
 To prevent damage to cards in storage, follow procedures that prevent accumulation of dirt
or dust on the pin connectors and damage to the printed-circuit board or its components
wrapage. This situation is typical for printed-circuit boards stored in areas where the humidity
can exceed 95% and the temperature can exceed 70 °C.
 While transporting cards, pack each module in its original shielded container and padding, or
in an electrostatically shielded bag. In case the original packing material is lost, place the
module in a shielded bag and use another container with sufficient padding.
 Air filters have to be replaced once in 6 months.
Dissipating Static Electricity
The static electricity level in your body increases when you move around or come into contact
with other charged surfaces. Excessive levels of static electricity can damage the equipment. You
must either wear a properly functioning heel grounder (that attaches to your leg and foot) and/or
an antistatic wrist-strap, or another grounding device when you work on any of the following:
 Network element chassis (including the metal frame and cover)
 Cables connected to cards
 Cards
Any one of the previously mentioned grounding devices dissipates electrostatic charges to the
ground quickly and safely. Use grounding devices correctly to eliminate the ESD threat you pose
to the equipment.
When you wear an antistatic wrist-strap or a heel grounder, you must make sure the grounding
straps are in contact with a moist part of your skin. Connect the grounding cord to the grounding
plug on a grounded fixture of the product you are working on, such as the shelf ESD jack,
grounded fixtures are accessible on most of the products.
