ActiveScale™ P100E3 Installation Guide

2 System Upacking

This section provides unpacking instructions for the ActiveScale P100E3.

2.1 Required Tools for Unpacking and Installation

• Anti-static mat or anti-static foam
• Box cutter
• Cart to hold components
• Level
• # 2 Phillips head screwdriver with a 12" shaft. If you are using a torque screwdriver, set the torque to
212 in-lb or 24 N-m for mounting kit installation.

2.2 Understanding the Unpacking Process

The unpacking process involves alternating between unpacking and inspecting components. This sequence
will help catch problems that might have occurred during packaging or shipping.
Because the requirements of every data center or customer installation are different, you might have to
unpack the system in a different sequence than described. If this occurs, ensure that the installation team
has thoroughly reviewed the information provided in this section and follows all safety and inspection
steps.
As you unpack the ActiveScale P100E3 system, look for obvious signs of damage. The following
scenarios are the most common ways a package can be damaged:
• Crushed corners caused by dropping the package.
• Split seams caused by excessive shearing force placed on the container.
• Punctures caused by a sharp object striking the packaging.
• Water damage caused by contact with a water source or storage in an overly humid environment.
