TeraPac User Operation and Maintenance Guide
Unpacking and Setting-up Your MaxPac
Unpack your MaxPac X-Class system and connect its cables (power, mouse, keyboard, and
network) as described in the
MaxPac X-Class User Operation and Maintenance Guide
.
Note:
Do NOT power-up your MaxPac until you have connected it to the TeraPac as discussed
later in this Chapter. Also, in the case of dual- or triple-display systems, do not unfold the display
screens at this time (wait until after you have connected the TeraPac to the MaxPac).
Inspect the TeraPac Shipment
TeraPac systems are packaged to withstand the roughest of treatment during shipping. Any boxes,
foam core padding, and anti-static bags should be stored safely away in case you need to ship the
system for any reason in the future. Inspect the box the system arrived in. If there is any unusual
damage to the box, make note of the damage on the delivery form and contact MaxVision support
(see
Appendix A for more details
).
Unpacking the TeraPac
TeraPac units are always shipped inside an associated Pelican case, which weighs 22 lbs.
Depending on the configuration of your TeraPac – which can contain from three to eight disk
drives, each weighing 2 lbs – the TeraPac/Pelican combo will weigh between 48 lbs and 58 lbs
(including the packaging). If you are unable to lift this weight safely, you should obtain assistance
in unpacking and moving the system.
1) Place the cardboard packing box containing the Pelican case and the TeraPac unit on the floor.
2) Clear an area on a desk or table on which to place the TeraPac system.
3) Carefully cut the tape on top of the outer cardboard packing box and open the box (Figure 2-1).
Figure 2-1. Open the outer packing box
4) Have two people (one on each side) lift the Pelican case. Keeping your back straight, bending at
the knees and using your legs as much as possible, take the Pelican case out of the box.
