Unpacking and Transporting the Device

Before you begin

Before you start, make sure you install the applicable rack mount kit in your equipment rack. Use the following procedure to unpack and install your device.

Procedure

  1. Unpack the device:
    1. Cut the bands that encircle the packaging.
    2. Open the top of the shipping box and remove the accessory kit, the rack mount kits, and the foam from the top of the device.
    3. Lift the cardboard shipping container and the inner cardboard sleeve off the device.
    4. Remove the antistatic plastic off the device.
    5. Leave the device on top of the foam shipping tray and wood pallet if the device must be transported to the installation location.
    6. Verify the contents of the shipping carton by referring to Shipped Items.
    7. Save the foam packing material and wooden pallet for reuse.
  2. Use a pallet jack or other assisted lift to transport the device to the installation area. Ensure that the doorways are wider than 36 in. (91 cm) to accommodate the device.
  3. Use a lift to raise the device to the correct level. Use two people, one to operate the lift and the other to secure the device on the lift.
    CAUTION:
    Do not attempt to lift or support the chassis by the logo bezel attached over the port-side air vents.
    Note: Orient the device on the lift so that you can slide it into the correct side of the rack to provide cool air intake. Fans and power supply FRUs in this device have a green "NPE" or "NPI" symbol on the FRU faceplate. An "NPE" indicates that the FRU pulls air from the port side of the device and exhausts out the non port-side. An "NPI" indicates that the FRU pulls air from the non port-side of the device and exhausts out the port side. Fans and power supplies must have the same airflow indicator. Be sure that you are pulling cool air into the air intake side of the device. For more details, see Power Supply Airflow.
  4. If applicable, lock the wheels of the lift.
  5. Mount the device using the rack mount kit's installation instructions.
    Note: When installing the device into the rack, use one person on each side of the device to gently slide it onto the final installation surface and ensure that it remains supported during the transfer.
