Parts Checklist
Before proceeding with the installation, use the parts checklist to verify that all the parts you ordered
are present and in good condition.
Plug-in cards can be shipped already installed in the shelf or under separate cover. The exact number of
cards will vary from site to site, depending on the selected configuration. The MGX 8220 shelf is
shipped with all unused front and back slots covered with inserts, which prevent radio frequency
emissions and ensure proper air flow through the shelf. The unit must not be operated with any unused
slots left uncovered.
Note An inventory of the installed cards is taped to the MGX 8220 shelf showing the serial number, the
revision number, and the slot number for each card. After verifying the cards, store the inventory for
future reference.
