Damage of the Blade and Additional Devices and Modules
Before installing or removing an additional device or module, read the respective
documentation.
Incorrect installation of additional devices or modules may damage the product or the
additional devices or modules.
Blade Damage
Incorrect installation of the blade can cause damage to the blade.
Use handles when installing/removing the blade to avoid damage/deformation to the face
plate and/or PCB.
Damage to Blade/Backplane or System Components
Bent pins or loose components can cause damage to the blade, the backplane, or other
system components. Carefully inspect the blade and the backplane for both pin and
component integrity before installation.
SMART EC and our suppliers take significant steps to make sure that there are no bent pins
on the backplane or connector damage to the blades prior to leaving the factory. Bent pins
caused by improper installation or by inserting boards with damaged connectors could void
the SMART EC warranty for the backplane or blades.
System Damage
WARNING: The intra-building port (s) of the equipment or subassembly is suitable for
connection to intra-building or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intra-building port (s)
of the equipment or subassembly MUST NOT be metallically connected to interfaces that
connect to the outside plant (OSP) or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as
intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089) and require
isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of primary protectors is not sufficient
protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.
The intra-building port (s) of the equipment or subassembly must use shielded intra-
building cabling/wiring that is grounded at both ends.
Rear Transition Module
Damage of the RTM
Incorrect installation of the RTM can cause damage to the RTM.
Use handles when installing/removing the RTM to avoid damage/deformation to the face
plate and/or PCB.
