Handle a Roung and Control Board Properly
Pay aenon to the way you handle a Roung and Control Board (RCB). You install RCBs horizontally. It
is best to hold them by the sides when they are not in the chassis, to prevent damage to the connectors.
To handle an RCB properly:
1. Orient the RCB so that the faceplate is toward you.
2. Grasp each side of the unit rmly as you slide the unit out of the chassis.
3. Take care not to strike the unit against any object as you carry it.
CAUTION: Never hold the RCB by the connector edge. The connectors are fragile and
the RCB will not seat properly if one or more of the connectors are damaged.
4. If you must rest an RCB on an edge, place a cushion between the edge and the surface.
CAUTION: Do not stack RCBs on top of one another or on top of any other
component.
5. Place each RCB in an individual anstac bag or separately on an anstac mat that is placed on a
at, stable surface.
Store a Roung and Control Board in an Electrostac Bag
You must store Roung and Control Boards (RCBs) either in the chassis or in a spare shipping container,
horizontally and sheet-metal side down. Do not stack these units on top of one another or on top of any
other component. Place each unit separately in an anstac bag or on an anstac mat placed on a at,
stable surface.
