Horizontal packages may be stacked by placing units

with pins facing upward. Initially engage the inter-

locking mechanism by sliding the L bracket body from

above into the L slot body of the lower package. Use

a straight edge, such as a ruler, to bring all stacked

units into uniform alignment. This technique prevents

potential harm that could occur to fingers and hands of

assemblers from the package pins. Stacked horizontal

packages can be disengaged if necessary. Repeated

stacking and unstacking causes no damage to individual

units.

To stack vertical packages, hold one unit in each hand,

with the pins facing away and the optical ports on the

bottom. Slide the L bracket unit into the L slot unit. The

straight edge used for horizontal package alignment is

not needed.
