Receiving and Inspecting
As you unpack your unit, inspect the shipping container and equipment for damage. Save the
shipping material for future use.
If the container or the equipment is damaged, notify both the freight carrier and Harmonic.
(see
on page 31 for contact information).
CAUTION:
Before removing equipment from its antistatic bag, touch a ground point for several seconds.
A suitable ground point is an unpainted part of the chassis of a grounded piece of equipment.
2.2
Installing the Transmitter Module
CAUTION:
To protect yourself from potential injury and to protect the equipment from further damage,
do not perform any operational tests if the equipment appears to be damaged.
The SPL 7110-Exx transmitter module plugs into the HMC 4001 module carrier, shown in
on page 14. The transmitter module is held in the carrier by a spring-loaded tab on
the front handle of the carrier. You can place the HMC 4001 carrier into any desired position
in the HLP 4200 and HLP 4800 platform.
The SPL 7110-Exx module can be plugged into the carrier either with the carrier already
mounted in the HLP 4200 and HLP 4800 platform, or prior to mounting the carrier into the
platform. The HLP 4200 and HLP 4800 platform can be powered and operational during the
plug-in process.
