7.3 Preparing for System Installation
7.3.1 Pre-Installation Inspection
Follow this procedure before installing Fusion equipment:
1. Verify the number of packages received against the packing list.
2. Check all packages for external damage; report any external damage to the ship-
ping carrier. If there is damage, a shipping agent should be present before you
unpack and inspect the contents because damage caused during transit is the
responsibility of the shipping agent.
3. Open and check each package against the packing list. If any items are missing,
contact TE customer service (refer to Section 7.2.2 on page 7-4).
4. If damage is discovered at the time of installation, contact the shipping agent.
