Shipping Considerations

Legacy Adapters:

Legacy High IOPS adapters do not support shipping installed or transported inside IBM System x servers. The Legacy
adapters must be packaged in the original box, electrostatic discharge (ESD) bag and packing materials. An alternate
packaging equivalent intended for fragile ESD sensitive electronic devices may also be used. Configured Legacy
adatpers must be removed and repackaged before shipping. For more information, see the following websites:
