How to Store a Switch Interface Board
You must store SIBs 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 a SIB into an antistatic bag:
1. Hold the unit horizontally with the faceplate toward you.
2. Slide the opening of the bag over the connector edge.
If you must insert the SIB 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.
