Storing Components

Caution: Do not transport a chassis with components (line cards, power supplies, RPMs, Fan Trays, Power Supply, or SFMs) installed in the chassis. Place the modules in their original ESD-preventative packaging and attach the Front Shipping Cover on the front of the chassis prior to placing the chassis in its original shipping crate. Shipping the chassis with components installed may damage the components and the chassis backplane.

If you do not install your E1200i system and components right away, Force10 Networks recommends that you properly store components and all extra field-replaceable components (spares) until you are ready to install them. Keep all components in the original packaging during storage.

Follow these indoor storage guidelines:

Storage temperature should remain constant ranging from -40° to 158°F (-40° to 70°C).

Non-condensing relative humidity should be maintained within 5 to 95 percent.

Store on a dry floor, away from direct sunlight, heat, and air conditioning ducts.

Store in a dust-free environment.
