Before You Unpack
Before you unpack the shipment, follow these steps:
1. Inspect the cartons for shipping damage.
If you see evidence of shipping damage, arrange for
an agent of the carrier to be present when you
remove the equipment.
2. Decide where you want to locate the MCS.
Typically, you place the MCS in a switch room near
telephone and network equipment.
Doing this avoids having to move the MCS after you
unpack it and reduces the chance of losing
components.
When You Unpack
To unpack the shipment, follow these steps:
1. Open the tops of the shipping cartons, and remove
the packing material.
2. Lift the MCS from its carton, and empty the other
cartons.
Place the components in position.
3. Save the cartons and the packing material in case
you ship the equipment to another site.
