CN-Series Hardware Installation and Maintenance Guide
Task 1—Performing the Pre-Installation Tasks
When handling system hardware components, always use the electrostatic wrist strap provided, or use a
similar form of ESD protection.
Unpacking the Shipping Carton
When unpacking the shipping carton, be aware of the following:
• The systems are heavy. Two or three people are required to lift and unpack the cartons and SimpliVity
recommends the use of a datacenter equipment lift.
• Pallet shipping straps might have considerable tension. Cut these with an appropriate tool and use
appropriate safety wear.
The following image shows the carton contents for a 2U model.
To unpack the shipping carton:
1.
Remove the shrink wrap from the palleted cartons and carefully cut any straps that hold the cartons to
the pallet.
2.
To orient the carton for ease of unpacking and racking, locate the black circle printed on the side of the
carton. This is the front of the CN-Series system enclosure.
3.
Use a boxcutter to cut the sealing tape. Be careful that you do not cut into the carton. Retain the carton
and packaging in case you need to return the system.
4.
Remove the rail kit (callout 1), which contains the rails and the installation instructions.
