Preface The Stratus ftServer V 6624 Hardware Installation Guide (R005S) documents the hardware installation procedures for Stratus ftServer V 6624 systems. This manual is intended for Customer Service personnel who are installing these systems. Because the internal components of an OpenVOS ftServer system are installed before arriving at a customer site, this manual documents only the procedures necessary for setting up a customer system.
