Unpacking the System

You should inspect the box the 8046B-TRLF was shipped in and note if it was
damaged in any way. If the server itself shows damage you should fi le a damage
claim with the carrier who delivered it.
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the 8046B-TRLF. It
should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas
where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fi elds are generated. You will also
need it placed near a grounded power outlet. Be sure to read the Rack and Server
Precautions in the next section.
