Storing an MX480 FPC

When not installed in the routing platforms, FPCs must be either stored in the container in which a spare
FPC is shipped or stored horizontally with the component-side up on a flat, stable surface. When you store
an FPC on a horizontal surface or in the shipping container, always place it inside an antistatic bag. Because
the FPC is heavy and because antistatic bags are fragile, inserting the FPC into the bag is easier with two
people. The storage guidelines are as follows:
When storing an FPC with two people, one person holds the FPC in the horizontal position with the
faceplate facing their body, the other person slides the opening of the bag over the FPC connector edge.
When storing an FPC with one person, you must insert the FPC into a bag by yourself. First lay the FPC
horizontally on a flat, stable surface, component-side up. Orient the FPC with the faceplate facing you.
Carefully insert the FPC connector edge into the opening of the bag, and pull the bag toward you to
cover the FPC.
