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 “Preparing to Install a SPA Interface Processor or a Shared
Port Adapter” for a list of parts and tools required for installation.
Caution Always handle the SIP by the carrier edges and handle; never touch the SIP components or connector
pins. (See Figure 4-1.)
When a slot is not in use, a blank filler plate must fill 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 blank
filler plate.
