1.2 PREPARATION FOR STORAGE OR SHIPMENT
The following paragraphs describe guidelines for long term storage and the shipment of the
equipment.
1.2.1 Storage
Before storage, wrap the equipment in static shielding bubble wrap. Bubble wrap protects
internal electrostatic discharge sensitive (ESDS) assemblies, external panels, and connectors.
Place wrapped equipment in the original shipping containers and seal. Store in a cool dry
place, away from the elements.
1.2.2 Shipment
Ship equipment in the original shipping containers or in a container that provides sufficient
protection for ESDS equipment. Pack the equipment in a manner that provides protection for
all external switches and mountings, because these items are most vulnerable to damage
during shipment.
Document use is restricted to that described on cover
