1.10.Transport & Shipping

CAUTION: Cards can be safely transported in their original shipping packages. DC cards can be transported when properly mounted in a CompactPCI crate. The transport of DP cards mounted in a PC is a more delicate issue. Because of their mass the cards can vibrate loose unless they are properly secured and braced. DP cards held only in the front and on the bottom should not be shipped in their PC. However, properly mounted DP cards with XP103 or XP105 fans can be sufficiently well held; the Adjustable retainer must be used so as to hold the card in place.

To package the instrument for shipping:

Step

1.Place the instrument in its original packaging materials.

2.Surround the instrument with at least 3 to 4 inches (8 to 10 cm) of its original packing material or bubble-pack to prevent the instrument from moving in its shipping container.

Notes

•If the original packaging materials are not available, use a professional packaging service. Contact your Agilent Service Center for more information.

3.After wrapping it with packing material, place the instrument in its original shipping container or a strong shipping container that is made of double-walled corrugated cardboard with 159 kg (350 lb) bursting strength.

4.Seal the shipping container securely with strong nylon adhesive tape.

5.Mark the shipping container “FRAGILE, HANDLE WITH CARE” to help ensure careful handling.

6.Use the address obtained from your Agilent Technologies Service Center.

7.Retain copies of all shipping papers.

•The shipping container must be large and strong enough to accommodate your instrument and allow at least 3 to 4 inches (8 to 10 cm) on all sides for packing material.

CAUTION: Damage can result if the original packaging materials are not used. Packaging materials should be anti-static and cushion the instrument on all sides. NEVER USE STYRENE PELLETS IN ANY SHAPE AS PACKAGING MATERIALS. They do not adequately cushion the instrument or prevent it from moving in the shipping container. Styrene pellets can also cause equipment damage by generating static electricity or by lodging in fan motors.

1.11.Maintenance

The cards do not require any maintenance. There are no user serviceable parts inside. A periodic calibration can be obtained on request.
