3-2 INSTALLING AND OPERATING THE MODULE
Precautionary
Procedures
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage static-sensitive devices on
circuit boards. Follow these precautions when you handle the 24-Port
module.
Do not remove the board from its antistatic shielding bag until you
are ready to inspect or install it.
Handle the board by the faceplate only.
Use proper grounding techniques when you install the 24-Port module.
These techniques include using a foot strap and grounded mat or
wearing a grounded static discharge wrist strap. An alternate method is
to touch the grounded rack or other source of ground just before you
handle the module.
Unpacking
Procedures
Use the following procedure when unpacking your 24-Port module.
1 Verify that the 24-Port module is the model you ordered by checking
the model number listed on the side of the shipping carton
(6124M-TPL6).
Note that the product model number printed on the shipping box
differs from the model number on the product. The model number on
the shipping box contains the prefix ’3C9’.
2 Remove the 24-Port module, in its antistatic bag, from the shipping
carton.
3 Remove the module from the antistatic shielding bag and inspect it for
damage.
Save the packages of screws in the carton; you'll need them when you
attach connectors to the module. Always handle the 24-Port module by
the faceplate, being careful not to touch the components. If the
module appears to be damaged, return it to the antistatic shielding
bag, repack it in the shipping carton, and contact your local supplier.
Keep the shipping carton and antistatic shielding bag in which your
module was shipped so that you can repackage the module for storage
or shipment.
