Handling Equipment
• Do not pass a module to other people.
• Do not handle a module unnecessarily.
• Transport or store a module (even temporarily) in its original static-protective package
and shipping box.
• When unattended, the modules containing sensitive information, e.g. encryption
modules and NCUs, should be stored in a secured and locked location (cabinets,
lock boxes, etc) where access is limited.
• Do not use brushes with synthetic bristles or acid brushes to clean a module.
• Handle a defective module with same care as an intact module.
• When pulling and inserting modules, use the screws on the faceplate.
• Do not touch hot components on the channel module
CAUTION
Hot Surface!
Some channel module components such as heat sinks may attain high
temperatures during operation. Touching very hot components is likely to
result in skin burns.
Allow such a module to cool before removing it from the shelf slot. or before placing it
in an static-protective package. Put only cooled modules into the static-protective
package.
• The connector receptacles of the optical ports (integrated inter-faces) are equipped
with protective plugs on delivery to prevent impurities. When storing a module always
keep plugs in the receptacles.
• Keep protective plugs in the receptacles as long as the module is not installed in a
running system or fiber-optic cables are not plugged in.
• The transceiver cages of pluggable-based channel modules are equipped with dust
plugs on delivery to prevent impurities. When storing a pluggable-based channel
module always keep the dust plugs in the cages.
• Keep dust plugs in the transceiver cages as long as the channel module is not
installed in a running system. Make sure to insert a dust plug into the transceiver
cage where no transceiver is present.
• Prevent any unauthorized person from having access to encryption modules, either
classified or not classified to ensure the integrity of these modules.
• Do not dispose of a waste module with the normal trash because of it is an electronic
product.
The final disposal of any module should be handled according to all
relevant national laws and regulations of your country.
