Handling SIPs
Each SIP circuit board is mounted to a metal carrier and is sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD)
damage. Before you begin installation, read
Chapter 4, “Preparing to Install a SIP or a SPA,” for a list
of parts and tools required for installation.
Caution Always handle the SIP by the carrier edges; never touch the SIP components or connector pins
(see Figure 5-1).
When a slot is not in use, a blank filler plate must be installed in the empty slot to allow the router to
conform to electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions requirements and to allow proper airflow
across the installed modules. If you plan to install a SIP in a slot that is not in use, you must first remove
the two blank filler plates.
