Box Contents

YOUR TASK:

Check the contents of the box.

YOUR OBJECTIVE:

Make sure you got everything you paid for.

YOUR METHOD:

Compare what you find in the box with the tables
on the following pages.

What you should find in your Plextor box depends on two factors: 1) what configu-
ration you purchased; and 2) what the company that sold you the box put in ---- or
took out ---- while it was in their possession.

Plextor currently sells its 8PleX drives in three configurations:

1) Drive Only

2) Drive with SCSI Interface Kit

3) Drive with Mac Kit

The configuration you received is indicated by stickers applied to your box.

Your drive may also have been integrated into a computer system or subsystem
sold by a third party.

PLEASE
NOTE:

A security sticker was applied to the top of your box. The contents of
your box were carefully checked before this sticker was applied. If it was
cut before you purchased the box, you should carefully check the
contents to ensure nothing has been removed. If something is missing,
you should contact the party from whom you purchased the box for an
explanation.

There may be a perfectly good reason why the security sticker on the box was cut
before you received it. For example, a dealer may have purchased a ‘‘Drive Only’’
configuration from Plextor, then added a SCSI interface board and/or software he had
purchased separately before selling the box to you.

NOTE:

If your drive came pre-installed in a computer, the rails, cables, interface
boards, and other parts shown on the following pages may have been
installed and may not be separately available.
