Handling SPAs

Handling SPAs

Each SPA circuit board is mounted to a metal carrier and is sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage.
Before you begin installation, see
required for installation.
Note Always handle the SPA by the carrier edges and handle; never touch the SPA components or connector
pins.
When a subslot is not in use, a SPA blank filler plate must fill the empty subslot to allow the router or switch
to conform to electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions requirements and to allow proper airflow across
the installed modules. If you plan to install a SPA in a subslot that is not in use, you must first remove the
SPA blank filler plate.
