Unpacking
Carefully remove contents of shipping package, unpack the device and shipped components from the
protective packaging. The equipment contained in the shipment is sensitive to electrostatic discharge.
The VTrak is shipped with eight hard disk drives (HDD) installed in drive carriers, so the unit is heavy. Be
