Packing a SPA for Shipment
Packing a SPA for Shipment
This section provides step-by-step instructions for packing a SPA and the cable-management brackets
for shipment. Before beginning this procedure, you should have the following original Cisco Systems
packaging materials:
•
Thermoform container (transparent plastic-molded clamshell)
•
Carton
Caution
The Cisco Systems original packaging is to be used for the shipment of all SPAs and cable-management
brackets. Failure to properly use Cisco Systems packaging can result in damage or loss of product.
Warning
During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card. Do not directly
touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself.
Note
These instructions assume that the SPA and cable-management brackets have been removed from the
router according to the recommended procedures specified in this guide.
To pack a SPA and the cable-management brackets for shipment, perform the following steps:
Step 1
Open the Thermoform container and place the SPA and each of the cable-management brackets into the
appropriate cavities.
Caution
Always handle the SPA by the carrier edges and handle; never touch the SPA components or connector
pins.
Step 2
Close the Thermoform container. Be sure to lock the snaps securely.
Step 3
Check that the Thermoform container is fully closed. Apply tape or a label closure over the opening to
ensure the container stays closed during shipping.
Step 4
Place the Thermoform container into the carton.
Step 5
Close the carton.
Step 6
Apply tape over the carton flap to ensure the carton stays closed during shipping.
