3.1 Unpacking
Caution!
When opening the shipping carton, use caution to avoid damaging the system.
Consider the following when unpacking and storing the system:
• Leave the system packed until it is needed for immediate installation.
• After unpacking the system, save and store the packaging material in case
the system must be returned.
If the packaging is damaged and possible system damage is present, report to
the shipper and analyze the damage.
3.1.1 Ensuring Proper Airflow
• Install the system in an open rack whenever possible. If installation in an
enclosed rack is unavoidable, ensure that the rack has adequate ventilation.
• Maintain ambient airflow to ensure normal operation. If the airflow is blocked
or restricted, or if the intake air is too warm, an over temperature condition
can occur.
• Ensure that cables from other equipment do not obstruct the airflow through
the systems.
• Use filler panels to cover all empty chassis slots. The filler panel prevents
fan air from escaping out of the front of an open slot.
Caution!
To maintain proper airflow, all open slots must be covered with filler panels.
The filler panel should include an airflow baffle that extends to backplane.
