3.1 General Installation Guidelines
3.1.1 Unpacking
Consider the following when unpacking and storing the system:
• Leave the system packed until it is needed for immediate installation.
• After unpacking the system, save and store the packaging material in case the system
must be returned.
If the packaging is damaged and possible system damage is present, report to the shipper and
analyze the damage.
3.1.2 Ensuring Proper Airflow
• Maintain ambient airflow to ensure normal operation. If the airflow is blocked or
restricted, or if the intake air is too warm, an over temperature condition can occur.
• Ensure that cables from other equipment do not obstruct the airflow through the sys-
tems.
• Use filler panels to cover all empty chassis slots. The filler panel should include an airflow
baffle that extends to backplane. The filler panel prevents fan air from escaping out of the
front of an open slot.
Caution!
When opening the shipping carton, use caution to avoid damaging the system.
