Shipping Carton
Before unpacking the control, refer to the inside front cover and page vi of this
manual for WARNINGS and NOTICES. Be careful when unpacking the control.
Check for signs of damage such as bent or dented panels, scratches, loose or
broken parts. If any damage is found, immediately notify the shipper.
The AtlasPC control was shipped from the factory in an anti-static foam lined
