Repacking for shipment – Speck Electronics SSM User Manual

Chapter 2 Initial Preparation
Merely affixing the Model SSM or optional SSM Expander into an 
equipment rack is no guarantee that the product is making a reliable 
ground connection. The mounting rails in the equipment rack should 
never be depended upon for a ground connection. 
 
 
 
 
The following information is provided as a general guide for 
repackaging your Model SSM for shipment. If you have any questions, 
contact your local Speck Dealer or Speck Electronics direct. Our phone 
number is (760) 723-4281. 
 
If the product is to be shipped to Speck Electronics for service or repair, 
attach a tag to the product, identifying the owner and indicating the 
service or repair to be accomplished. Include the model number and 
serial number of the product. Place the product in the original container 
if available. If the original container in not available, a suitable one can 
be purchased from Speck Electronics. 
 
If the original container is not used, wrap the product in heavy plastic 
before placing in an inner container. Use plenty of packing material 
around all sides of the product and protect panel faces with cardboard 
strips. Mark shipping container with "Delicate Instrument" or "Fragile", 
and insure the shipment for the proper amount. 
 
In most cases, it will be necessary to remove the rack mount 
adapters if the unit is returned in its original shipping container. When 
remounting the rack mount adapters, make certain you use the original 
mounting screws supplied with the Model SSM.
