How to Store a Routing and Control Board
You must store an RCB either in the chassis or in a spare shipping container, horizontally and sheet-metal
side down. Do not stack these units on top of one another or on top of any other component. Place each
unit separately in an antistatic bag or on an antistatic mat placed on a flat, stable surface.
NOTE:
Because these units are heavy, and because antistatic bags are fragile, inserting the line
card into the bag is best done by two people.
To insert an RCB into an electrostatic bag:
1. Hold the unit horizontally with the faceplate toward you.
2. Have the second person slide the opening of the antistatic bag over the connector edge and then pull
the bag to cover the unit.
If you must insert an RCB into a bag by yourself:
1. Lay the unit horizontally on an antistatic mat that is on a flat, stable surface with the sheet-metal side
down.
2. Orient the unit with the faceplate toward you.
3. Carefully insert the connector edge into the opening of the bag and pull the bag toward you to cover
the unit.
Do not stack RCBs on top of one another or on top of any other
