A small accessory carton contains the fiber cables and any other items necessary for

When you receive the system, visually inspect the exterior of all packaging. If you see any
damage, contact Xiotech Customer Support at 1.800.734.4716 immediately and they will advise
you of the appropriate action. Use anti-static precautions before removing any of the package
contents. Inspect the system components for damage. If any discrepancy or damage is apparent,
contact Xiotech Customer Support immediately.
Note:
Because the Emprise system components are large and heavy, use a cart to
move the units as close as possible to the location of the rack while they are
still in the packing boxes.
Caution:
If the components have been removed from the packaging, use a grounded
cart.
