damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.

MT . It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid
areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fi elds are generated. You
will also need it placed near a grounded power outlet. Read the Rack and Server

rail assemblies, six rail mounting brackets and the mounting screws you will need
to install the system into the rack. Follow the steps in the order given to complete
the installation process in a minimal amount of time. Please read this section in
its entirety before you begin the installation procedure outlined in the sections that
