Unpacking Instructions
The shipping package is engineered to reduce potential product damage caused by handling during
shipment. To avoid potential damage to the platform, transport it in its provided packaging. Failure
to use the provided packaging may damage the platform or degrade its performance.
Do not remove the platform from its shipping container until you are ready to install it.
Caution:
When handling the platform, always wear an ESD-preventive strap and it is
recommended to use an antistatic mat to avoid possible ESD damage.
Unpacking the Platform
To unpack the platform from the shipping container:
1. Carefully remove or cut (with a short blunt knife) the tape that seals the shipping container and
open the top of the outer shipping container.
Note:
Care should be used when cutting the tape not to insert the knife too deep into the box
where it could damage the platform.
2. Locate, remove, and set aside the accessories box.
3. Verify the contents of the accessories box with the packing list. Immediately report any missing
item to your Radware representative.
Notes
—
The accessories box contains all cables, power cords, mounting kits, a product CD with a
user guide, and all other accessories required for the particular platform model and version.
—
Verify that the AC power cord (if relevant) matches your country’s electric outlets.
4. Carefully lift the platform from the shipping container and remove the foam braces.
5. Slide the ESD plastic bag off the platform and place it on an antistatic mat.
Note:
Save the braces with the plastic bag and other packaging material. You will need these if
you need to repackage the platform later.
