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 Notes 
1.  Place the instrument in its original packaging 
materials. 
•  If the original packaging materials are not available, 
use a professional packaging service. Contact your 
Agilent Service Center for more information. 
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. 
 
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.  
•  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. 
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. 
 
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.
