The proper method of holding an SFB is to:
1. Hold the SFB by the ejectors while keeping the SFB vertical, and slide the SFB about three-quarters
of the way out of the chassis.
2. Place one hand underneath the SFB to support it and slide it completely out of the chassis.
CAUTION: Hold the SFB by the ejectors. Never hold the SFB by the connector edge.
The connectors are fragile and the SFB won’t align and seat properly if the connector is
damaged.
CAUTION: Keep SFBs separate. Don’t stack SFBs on top of one another or on top of
any other component.
How to Store a Switch Fabric Board
You must store Juniper Networks Switch Fabric Boards (SFBs) either in the chassis or in a spare shipping
container, horizontally, and sheet-metal side down. Do not stack these units on top of one another or on
top of any other component. Place each unit separately in an antistatic bag or on an antistatic mat
placed on a flat, stable surface.
NOTE: We recommend that two people insert the SFB into the bag because these units are
heavy and antistatic bags are fragile.
NOTE: The JNP10004-SF2 SFBs are shipped with protective plastic covers on the fabric
interface connectors. The plastic covers keep the connectors clean and free of dust and other
particles. When you remove JNP10004-SF2 SFB from the router, re-insert the protective plastic
covers on the fabric interface connectors and then place the SFB in an antistatic bag or on an
antistatic mat placed on a flat, stable surface.
To store an SFB in an antistatic bag if two people are available to lift the unit:
1. Hold the unit horizontally with the faceplate toward you.
2. Slide the opening of the bag over the connector edge.
