3.2.1 Individual Chassis
HPS/RFL GARD Pro system terminals supplied as individual chassis are packed in their own
shipping cartons:
1.
Open each carton carefully to make sure the equipment is not damaged.
2.
After the chassis is removed from the carton, carefully examine all packing material to
make sure no items of value are discarded.
3.
Make sure all modules are fully seated in the chassis. The machine screws securing all
I/O modules to the rear of the chassis should be fully tightened.
Caution
Pin damage from excessive force
Care should be taken when connecting individual modules to the mid-plane in either the 3U or
6U chassis. It is possible to damage the connecting pins if excessive force is used.
3.2.2 Interconnected Chassis
HPS/RFL GARD Pro system terminals ordered as part of a larger system may be interconnected
with other chassis and mounted in a relay rack or cabinet, or on shipping rails for installation into
a rack or cabinet at the customer's site. In such cases, the entire assembly is enclosed in a wood
crate or delivered by air-ride van:
1.
If the equipment is crated, carefully open the crate to avoid damaging the equipment.
2.
Remove the equipment from the crate and carefully examine all packing materials to make
sure no items of value are discarded.
