IMPORTANT: The Ripple-2 node is shipped containing a package of desiccant for moisture
protection. Depending on the configuration of the node, the desiccant package will be attached
to either the surface of the Pebble-2 slot 2, or to the top of the fiber tray.
The desiccant package must be removed for later disposal in a responsible manner before
performing any installation procedures on the node.
