Unpacking the Chassis and Cards
The Integrated Access System chassis and cards are packed separately. When you receive your
system, unpack the boxes and check the contents for damage. If anything is damaged, contact
the shipping carrier to file a claim. The carrier representative will also tell you how to submit
a claim, where to send the unit, and give you any special instructions you may need.
Pack the damaged item in its original packing materials and send it by prepaid freight to the
address you received. If the original packing materials are unavailable, pack the unit in a
sturdy box and surround it with shock-absorbing material.
