Stinger® FS/Stinger FS+ Getting Started Guide
Preparing for the Installation
Unpacking the Stinger
Store components properly
Protect 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 modules directly on ungrounded metal shelving
or on ungrounded carts without insulating surfaces.
Unpacking the Stinger
The Stinger unit is delivered in a protective shipping carton, with all the ordered
modules installed. The Stinger chassis is attached to a wooden pallet with screws and
L-brackets.
Before you remove the Stinger unit from the shipping carton and delivery pallet,
check for damage. If you see any damage, follow the instructions described in your
product warranty.
Due to the large size and weight of a fully configured unit, Lucent Technologies
recommends moving the unit to the installation site
before
unpacking it from the
shipping carton.
!
Warning
A fully configured Stinger FS or Stinger FS+ weighs up to 160 pounds
(72.6kg). To avoid potential injury, use a mechanical lift for moving or
rack-mounting the unit.
To unpack the unit:
1
Open the carton and remove all enclosed packing materials. Save the packing materials in
case you need to repack the unit later.
2
Verify that the contents of the carton match the items listed on the packing slip.
3
Using a number 2 Phillips screwdriver, remove the screws from the L-brackets on the
delivery pallet.
4
Carefully remove the unit from the pallet.
Verifying the hardware configuration
The Stinger FS and Stinger FS+ have a midplane design that enables the control
module and line interface modules in the front of a unit to connect to the line
protection modules (LPMs) and trunk modules in the back. The Stinger FS+ contains
an enhanced midplane bus that can accommodate high-density, 72-port line interface
modules (LIMs).
The modules ordered with the unit are installed prior to shipment. Check the unit to
verify that it is configured as ordered and to identify the connection points for power
and data. The cable connectors for trunk modules, line protection modules, and
power supply inlets are located at the back of the chassis.
!
Caution
Wear an antistatic wrist strap before handling any of the unit components.
This can be connected to one of two electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding jacks
(banana jacks), located at the top left corner of the front of the unit (Figure 1-4) and
also on the rear of the unit (Figure 1-9).
