Getting Started
Most CardModules are installed into the rack frames and system tested in the
factory. If this is an upgrade part or service exchange item then the module is
supplied in a padded cardboard carton which includes the CardModule, rear
connection plate and mounting screws.
Packaging
The shipping carton and packaging materials provide protection for the module
during transit. Please retain the shipping cartons in case subsequent shipping of
the product becomes necessary. Do not remove the module from its protective
static bag unless observing adequate ESD precautions. Please see below.
ESD Warning
This product is static sensitive. Please use caution and use preventative
measures to prevent static discharge or damage could result to module.
Preventing ESD Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage occurs when electronic assemblies or the
components are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent
failure.
Do not handle the module unless using an ESD-preventative wrist strap and
ensure that it makes good skin contact. Connect the strap to any solid grounding
source such as any exposed metal on the rack chassis or any other unpainted
metal surface.
Caution
Periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement
should be between 1 and 10 Megohms.
