Section 1 - Receiving and handling Instructions
1. Receiving and handling Instructions
1.1 Receiving Inspection
Visually inspect the module for obvious shipping damage. If you detect shipping
damage, file a claim with the carrier and submit a copy to Bently Nevada LLC.
1.2 Handling and Storage Considerations
Circuit boards contain devices that are susceptible to damage when exposed to
electrostatic charges. Damage caused by obvious mishandling of the board will
void the warranty. To avoid damage, observe the following precautions in the
order given.
Application Advisory
Machinery protection may be lost when
you remove this module from the rack.
• Do not discharge static electricity onto the circuit board. Avoid tools or
procedures that would subject the circuit board to static damage.
Some possible causes of static damage include ungrounded soldering
irons, nonconductive plastics, and similar materials.
• Use a suitable grounding strap (such as 3M Velostat
®
No. 2060) before
handling or performing maintenance on a printed circuit board.
• Transport and store circuit boards in electrically conductive bags or
foil.
• Use extra caution during dry weather. Relative humidity less than 30%
tends to multiply the accumulation of static charges on any surface.
When performed properly, you may install this module into or remove this module
from the rack while power is applied to the rack. Refer to the Rack Installation and
Maintenance Manual (part number 129766-01) for the proper procedure.
