CAUTION: Never hold the line card by the connector edge. The connectors are fragile
and the line card won’t seat properly if the connector is damaged. See Figure 88 on
page 193.

4. If you must rest a line card on an edge, place a cushion between the edge and the surface.
CAUTION: Do not stack line cards on top of one another or on top of any other
component.
5. Place each line card separately in an electrostac bag or on an anstac mat placed on a at, stable
surface.
Store a Line Card Properly
You must store line cards either in the chassis or in a spare shipping container, horizontally and sheet-
metal side down. Don’t stack these units on top of one another or on top of any other component.
You must place each unit separately in an anstac bag or on an anstac mat placed on a at, stable
surface.
NOTE: Because these units are heavy and anstac bags are fragile, two people should insert
the line card into the bag.
