Unpacking the DECarray

3.1 Unpacking

The DECarray cabinet is packed in a cardboard carton attached to a wooden

shipping pallet and covered with plastic protection.

Note

Before unpacking the equipment, inspect the shipping carton for signs

of external damage. Report any damage to the local carrier and either

Digital Services or the sales ofﬁce.

Note

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 unit 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 DECarray cabinet is unpacked, examine the front and rear doors,

the right and left side panels, and the undercarriage for any apparent damage.

Report any damage.
