Storing Modules and Components
Retain the packaging in which a module or component was shipped, and use this
packaging to store the item. Modules are shipped in antistatic bags and protective
packaging. Components, such as transceivers and NVS cards, are shipped in
antistatic plastic containers within an antistatic padded box.
Follow these guidelines for storing modules and components:
! Store each module in a separate antistatic bag.
! Store components in an antistatic plastic container. Some of these containers
can accommodate several components in separate compartments.
! Do not store multiple modules or components in an antistatic bag or container
where they can touch other items.
! (Optional) Store the item in its antistatic bag or container within the protective
packaging or padded box that the item was shipped in.
Cleaning the System
Dust is attracted to the side of the system on which the air intake vent is situated.
Clean this side of the system with a dry cloth every few weeks to prevent excessive
accumulation of dust. This cleaning will maintain the efficiency of the cooling
system and prevent damage to electronic components.
Upgrading NVS Cards on SRP Modules
This section describes how to install higher-capacity NVS cards on SRP modules.
The procedure you use depends on the number of SRP modules in the system. A
new NVS card will contain the software release you ordered.
CAUTION: Failure to store electronic modules and components correctly may lead
to damage of these items.
WARNING: Do not insert any metal object, such as a screwdriver, or place your
hand into an open slot or the backplane when the E-series router is on. Remove
jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and watches) before working on equipment
that is connected to power lines. These actions prevent electric shock and serious
burns.
CAUTION: When cleaning the system, wear an antistatic wrist strap connected to
the system’s ESD grounding jack. This action helps to protect modules from
damage by electrostatic discharge.
NOTE: The new NVS card must contain the same software release that you are
running on the system.
