Unpacking the System

You should inspect the box the 6028R-E1CR12T was shipped in and note if it was
damaged in any way. If the server itself shows damage you should file a damage
claim with the carrier who delivered it.
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the 6028R-E1CR12T.
It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas
where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields are generated. You will also
need it placed near a grounded power outlet. Read the Rack and Server Precau-
tions in the next section.
