Setting Up the System 2-3

Unpacking the System

WARNING

Your system weighs approximately 38 pounds (17.2 kg). If your system contains

numerous optional boards and peripheral devices, it will weigh more. To avoid

personal injury, make sure you have someone help you lift or move the system.

When you receive your system, inspect the shipping containers prior to unpacking. If the shipping

boxes are damaged, note the damage, and if possible, photograph it for reference. After removing

the contents of the containers, keep the cartons and the packing materials. If the contents appear

damaged when you unpack the boxes, file a damage claim with the carrier immediately.

Getting Familiar with the System

Before setting up your system, you should become familiar with the system’s features, such as the

location of your system's front and rear panel switches, indicators and connectors, etc.
