Figure 172: Do Not Rest the FPC on an Edge
You hold an FPC horizontally when installing it into the chassis or an equipment rack.
If the FPC is horizontal before you grasp it, place your left hand around the faceplate and
your right hand along the bottom edge.
To hold an FPC horizontally:
1. Orient the FPC so that the faceplate faces you.
2. Grasp the top edge with your left hand and the bottom edge with your right hand.

When not installed in the routing platforms, FPCs must be either stored in the container
in which a spare FPC is shipped or stored horizontally with the component-side up on a
flat, stable surface. When you store an FPC on a horizontal surface or in the shipping
container, always place it inside an antistatic bag. Because the FPC is heavy and because
antistatic bags are fragile, inserting the FPC into the bag is easier with two people. The
storage guidelines are as follows:
•
When storing an FPC with two people, one person holds the FPC in the horizontal
position with the faceplate facing their body, the other person slides the opening of
the bag over the FPC connector edge.

When storing an FPC with one person, you must insert the FPC into a bag by yourself.
First lay the FPC horizontally on a flat, stable surface, component-side up. Orient the
