Chapter 3 in the HP 8590 EM-Series EMC Analyzer V erication Guide.

CA UTION
Damage to the EMC analyzer can result from using packaging
materials other than those specied. Never use styrene pellets
in any shape as packaging materials . They do not adequately
cushion the instrument or prevent it from shifting in the carton.
Styrene pellets cause equipment damage by generating static
electricity and by lodging in the fan.
2. Use the original packaging materials , if possible . Y ou may also use strong
shipping containers that are made of double-walled, corrugated cardboard
with 159 kg (350 lb) bursting strength. The cartons must be both large
enough and strong enough and allow at least 3 to 4 inches on all sides of
the instrument for packing material. Containers and materials for factory
shipments are also available through any Hewlett-P ackard sales or service
oce .
3. Protect the front panel with cardboard.
4. Surround the instrument with at least 3 to 4 inches of packing material, or
enough to prevent the instrument from moving in the carton. If packing
foam is not available , the best alternative is SD-240 Air Cap
