Unpacking a Carton
Context
Cartons are used to package S12704, S12712, S12700E-4, and S12700E-12 switches, and cables, cards, power modules, or other modules.
- When cutting the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape on a carton, do not insert the utility knife too deep; otherwise, the utility knife may cut the components in the carton.
- Wear gloves or take other protection measures to prevent hand injuries when unpacking a carton.
Before unpacking a carton, move it to or close to the installation site (equipment room for example). Do not transport the unpacked equipment over a long distance.
Procedure
- Inspect the carton. If the carton is wet, or the label on the carton is damaged, analyze the cause and contact the equipment supplier immediately. If no exception is found, go to the next step.
- Check the label on the carton to learn about the type and number of components in the carton.
- Open the carton.
