Shipping and Storing Components
CAUTION: Do not transport a C300 chassis with the components (line cards, supplies, and RPMs) installed in
the chassis. Place the components in their original protective shipping packaging and original shipping
position. Shipping components installed in the chassis or without their protective packaging, might damage
the components or the chassis backplane.
If you do not install your C300 System and components immediately, Dell Networking recommends you
properly store components (including all extra field-replaceable parts) until you are ready to install them.
Follow these indoor storage guidelines:
• Storage temperature should remain constant ranging from -40°F to 158°F (-40°C to 70°C).
• Non-condensing relative humidity should be maintained with 5 to 95%.
• Store on a dry floor, away from direct sunlight, heat, and air conditioning ducts.
• Store in a dust-free environment.
