Packing a processor card or module

Prerequisites
Procedure steps
241-1501-240 5.2S2
Pack a processor card, fabric card, or module in its original container to
protect it from damage while it is being stored or returned.
• You must be familiar with "Safety considerations and best practices"
(page 53).
• Prevent damage to card electronics from electrostatic discharge (ESD) by
using effective anti-ESD gear that is appropriately grounded. A
Passport 15000 or 20000 antistatic wrist strap has part number
A0378999. Work near the Passport 15000 or 20000 switch so that you
can reach the package while wearing a wrist strap that is plugged into an
ESD jack on the switch hardware.
• For a Passport 20000 in a NEBS 2000 frame (NTRU04), there are no
separate shipping containers for the CPs, FPs, or fabrics because they are
shipped in the transportation positions (latched but not seated) in each
shelf assembly. The plug-in modules of the breaker interface panel (BIP)
are also shipped in a transportation position. There are no original
containers for these cards or modules. When returning a failed card or
module from a frame-based Passport 20000, you must pack it in anti-
ESD protective material so that further damage does not occur to the unit.
1 Get the original packaging and container, or equivalent anti-ESD packing
materials. If using a non-original container, put the PEC of the card or
module on the outside of the container.
2 Label the pouch and container with the operational status of the card,
fabric, or module at the time of its removal. For example, use failed or
spare (for re-deployment).
3 Insert the card or module into the antistatic ESD protection pouch and put
the pouch into the container, or put it directly into the container lined with
antistatic foam slots.
4 Seal the container with packing tape.
