ACIP Installation Prerequisites
When removing an ACIP, use the ejectors to release the bus connectors from the backplane. Hold
the handle on the front of an ACIP with one hand and support the bottom edge of the metal carrier
with the other hand. Pull the carrier out slowly, using your hand along the bottom of the carrier
to guide an ACIP straight out of the slot.
Handle carriers by the handles and carrier edges only; avoid touching the board or any connector
pins.
Place a removed ACIP board-side-up on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding bag. If the
component will be returned to the factory, immediately place an ACIP in a static shielding bag.
Avoid contact between an ACIP and clothing. The wrist strap only protects the board from ESD
voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.
Caution For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The
measurement should be between 1 and 10 megohms.
