Unpack and inspect
ISDN BRI cards and external communication cables are shipped in separate
packages. To unpack them, follow the general precautions recommended by
computer and telephone equipment manufacturers.
• Remove items that generate static charge from the installation site.
• If the installation site is carpeted, spray it with an antistatic spray.
• Ground yourself before handling any equipment.
• Carefully remove the equipment from its packaging. Do not puncture or
tear the containers. Use scissors or a utility knife.
• Inspect the equipment for obvious faults or damage. Report any damaged
component to your sales representative and the carrier who delivered the
equipment.
• When unpacking the circuit cards, hold them only by their
non-conductor edges. Do not touch connector pins or components.
