3–2 Unpacking and Placing an SF200 Storage Array with a VAX 6000 Series System
3.1 Unpacking
The SF200 storage array is packed in a cardboard carton attached to a
wooden shipping pallet and sealed in a barrier bag with desiccant for
environmental protection.
NOTE
Before beginning to unpack the equipment, inspect the shipping
carton for signs of external damage. Report any damage to the
local carrier and either Digital Customer Services or the sales
office.
REMEMBER
Retain the shipping container and all packing materials.
CAUTION
Failure to stabilize the equipment thermally may damage the
drive media or associated electronics when the unit is powered
up.
Remove the outer shipping carton, but leave the sealed moisture
barrier with desiccant in place for at least 24 hours (thermal
stabilization time). Thermal stabilization begins when the
equipment is placed in the room where it is to be installed.
WARNING
Adhere to electrostatic discharge (ESD) procedures at all times.
Use the ESD straps available with every array. The straps are
inside the front and rear doors.
Once the array is unpacked, examine the front and rear doors, the right
and left side panels, and undercarriage for any apparent damage. Report
any damage.
