Unpacking and inspection

Unpack and inspect the equipment for damage. When unpacking, follow
general precautions recommended by computer and telephone equipment
manufacturers:
•
Remove items that generate static charge from the installation site.
•
Use antistatic spray if the site is carpeted.
•
Observe grounding precautions before handling any equipment.
•
Remove equipment carefully from its packaging.
•
Visually inspect the equipment for obvious faults or damage. Any
damaged component must be reported to the sales representative and
the carrier who delivered the equipment.
•
Do not bend and twist the fiber-optic cables excessively. Make sure
that the cable is not bent beyond the specified minimum bending radius
of 1.4 inches (3.5 cm) when handled or installed.
•
Hold the plug-in cards by their nonconducting edges and keep them in
their antistatic bags until ready to install them.
•
Do not stack the plug-in cards on top of each other.

Taking inventory

After the equipment has been unpacked and visually inspected, verify that
all the equipment is at the site before the installation begins. Equipment
received must be checked against the shipping documents. Any shortages
must be noted and reported to the sales representative.
Installing the fiber-optic link
If the fiber-optic link already exists, check the fiber-optic link characteristics
and the end-to-end loss to determine if the link can support a Fiber
Remote IPE and, if it can, at what distance between the local system and
the Fiber Remote IPE.
Consult the Nortel distributor to learn how to verify that the existing
fiber-optic link is suitable for the Fiber Remote IPE application, and what
equipment to use to do so.
