 3 Installation Preparation

3.1 Cabinet Transportation Precautions

The cabinet must be transported with an outer packing container to protect the
cabinet from scratches.
After the packing container is removed on site, the cabinet must be protected
before you move or store it. For example, If a cabinet is stored temporarily,
cushioning materials must be put under the bottom of the cabinet to avoid direct
contact with the ground.
When you transport a cabinet, use machines. When you lift a cabinet, take care
to pull the cabinet to avoid collision with other objects.
If a cabinet has to be transported without packing due to environment restrictions,
cushioning materials such as foamed plastic and paperboard must be used to
protect the cabinet from scratches.

3.2 Installation Precautions

The following precautions should be abided by during the installation:
The hardware installation personnel must participate in the training related to
communication equipment installation to master installation skills.
During the installation, ensure the personal safety and avoid accidents such as
electric shock or bruise.
The installation personnel should wear an antistatic wrist strap when inserting
and pulling out boards. Ensure that the other end of the antistatic wrist strap is
grounded well.
When taking a board, take hold of the edge of the board and do not touch the
circuit, components, and wires.
Install the board along the slot to avoid short circuits caused by the contact
between parallel boards. Use proper force to install the boards to avoid pin
distortion.
When installing or maintaining an optical fiber, do not directly stare at the section
of optical fiber or an optical socket in case that laser beams hurt your eyes.
