Storing an MX480 FPC

When not installed in the routing platforms, FPCs must be either stored in the container
in which a spare FPC is shipped or stored horizontally with the component-side up on a
flat, stable surface. When you store an FPC on a horizontal surface or in the shipping
container, always place it inside an antistatic bag. Because the FPC is heavy and because
antistatic bags are fragile, inserting the FPC into the bag is easier with two people. The
storage guidelines are as follows:
When storing an FPC with two people, one person holds the FPC in the horizontal
position with the faceplate facing their body, the other person slides the opening of
the bag over the FPC connector edge.
When storing an FPC with one person, you must insert the FPC into a bag by yourself.
First lay the FPC horizontally on a flat, stable surface, component-side up. Orient the
FPC with the faceplate facing you. Carefully insert the FPC connector edge into the
opening of the bag, and pull the bag toward you to cover the FPC.
