Multiservice Switch 7400 Hardware Installation, Maintenance, and Upgrade 6.1S2
Unpacking a Multiservice Switch 7420
Unpack the Nortel Networks Multiservice Switch 7420 as close as possible to
the installation site.
Prerequisites
• Nortel Networks ships mounting kits in separate boxes. Unpack your
mounting kit and place the parts to the side until you are ready to mount
the chassis.
Procedure steps
1 Place the termination panel boxes to one side. Do not unpack them.
2 Set the box on the floor with the top end up.
3 Cut the tape that seals the top flaps, taking care not to cut into the
contents of the box, and fold back all four flaps.
4 Remove the foam from the top of the chassis.
5 Lift the chassis from the box and set it on the floor or table.
6 Remove the packing material from the chassis.
7 Unpack any other equipment that was delivered with the device.
8 Compare the contents of your shipment with the table “Equipment
checklist for the Multiservice Switch 7420 base package” (page 528) and
the figure “Taking inventory after unpacking a Multiservice Switch 7420”
(page 529) to ensure that you have all the hardware you require.
CAUTION
Risk of electrostatic damage
To avoid electrostatic damage, do not unpack the
termination panels at this time. When handling
processor cards, always wear antistatic footwear or
provide equivalent protection to avoid electrostatic
damage to electronic parts.
