installation instructions (or field upgrade kit). Figure 1-1 will help you determine 
if your chassis requires a filed upgrade kit to install an extended-format module 
into the bottom slot. The illustration shows the 4-Slot chassis but is also applies 
to the 8-Slot chassis. Chassis with two separate shielding strips in the bottom 
slot require the upgrade kit to install the FDDILink module; chassis with one 
shielding strip do not.

Determining the Need for a Field Upgrade Kit

 

Preparing for 
Installation

 

To prepare to install an FDDILink module into the NETBuilder II system, follow 
these steps:

 

CAUTION: 

 

Take great care to keep the transceivers clean and dust free. Do not 

remove the plastic protectors from the board or the end caps from the cable 
until you are ready to connect. Immediately install protectors and end caps after 
disconnecting.

 

1

 

Observe appropriate electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions.

ESD can damage circuit board components. Failures resulting from ESD may not 
be covered under your warranty. To prevent ESD:

 

 

Keep the module in its antistatic shielded bag until you are ready to install it.

 

 

Keep the optical transceivers in place until connecting a cable.

 

 

Do not touch pins, leads, or solder connections on the board.

 

 

Handle the board by the edges only.

Store or ship the module in static-protective packaging.

Observe proper grounding techniques when handling the module: Use a foot 
strap and grounded mat, or wear a grounded static discharge wrist strap.

2

Inspect the module for shipping damage.

If you find any damage, contact the shipping company to file a report. If the 
module must be returned to your network supplier, ship it in its original 
shipping carton. If the original carton was damaged in shipment, repack the 
system in a carton that provides equivalent protection.
