2 - 2 ONline Ethernet Bridge Module Installation and Operation Guide
❑ Do not remove the board from its anti-static shielding bag until you
are ready to inspect it.
❑ Handle the board by the faceplate only.
Use proper grounding techniques when you install the Bridge 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 a
grounded rack or other source of ground just before handling the module.
Unpacking Procedures
Use the following procedure when unpacking your Bridge Module.
1. Verify that the Bridge Module is the correct model by matching the
model number listed on the side of the shipping carton to the model
number you ordered (5102B-EE).
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 module in its anti-static shielding bag from the shipping
carton.
3. Remove the module from the anti-static shielding bag and inspect it
for damage. Always handle the Bridge Module by the faceplate,
being careful not to touch the components.
If the module appears to be damaged, replace it in the anti-static
shielding bag, return it to the shipping carton and contact your local
supplier.
3Com suggests you keep the shipping carton and anti-static shielding bag
in which your module was shipped in case you later want to repackage the
module for storage or shipment. Record the serial number of your Bridge
Module and other information specific to your modules in the Slot Usage
Chart in Appendix B of the ONline System Concentrator Installation and
Operation Guide.
