Installing an APX 1000 Chassis
Mounting an APX 1000 unit
Remove plastics from your work area
Work areas must be kept clear of common plastics, such as the following items:
•
Polystyrene packing containers
•
Clear plastic bags
•
Plastic drinking cups
•
Food wrappers
•
Clear cellophane tape
These types of common plastic materials can carry a static charge that is not easily discharged
to ground and must not make direct contact with slot cards, modules, or any other solid state
components.
Store components properly
Protect slot cards and modules immediately after removal from a chassis by placing them in
their original factory packing materials. Storage in approved antistatic packaging is acceptable
when factory packaging is unavailable.
!
Caution:
Never place unprotected slot cards or modules directly on ungrounded metal
shelving or on ungrounded carts without insulating surfaces.
