Preparing for installation
Unpacking and inspecting
ISDN BRI cards and external communication cables are shipped in separate packages. To
unpack them, follow the general precautions recommended by computer and telephone
equipment manufacturers.
• Remove items that generate static charge from the installation site.
• If the installation site is carpeted, spray it with an antistatic spray.
• Ground yourself before handling any equipment.
• Carefully remove the equipment from its packaging. Do not puncture or tear the
containers. Use scissors or a utility knife.
• Inspect the equipment for obvious faults or damage. Report any damaged component to
your sales representative and the carrier who delivered the equipment.
• When unpacking the circuit cards, hold them only by their nonconductor edges. Do not
touch connector pins or components.
• Keep the circuit cards in their antistatic bags until you are ready to install them.
• Do not stack the plug-in cards on top of each other. This can damage the components
and the printed circuits on the cards.
Taking inventory
After unpacking, verify that all the equipment necessary is at the site before installation begins.
Check the equipment received against the shipping documents. Note any shortages and report
them to your sales representative.
