• Keep air vents clear on each side of the system unit for proper ventilation.
• Do not place the system unit on its side. Blocking the air vents can cause
the system unit to overheat.
• Connect your system to a dedicated, isolated grounded circuit.
If you have several pieces of equipment that need to be plugged into an
electrical outlet, use a grounded power strip. Many power strips come with
an on/off switch and a surge protector.
Do not exceed the voltage or current requirements of the circuit.
Appendix A lists these requirements.
• To avoid damaging equipment that has been moved inside from a cold
environment, let the equipment warm to room temperature before you turn
it on. Let tape cartridges stabilize for 24 hours.
1.2 Unpacking
Caution
Because of the weight of the system unit, two people should lift the equipment
out of the shipping carton and place it on a work surface.
The shipping carton contains three boxes. The large box contains the system
unit and the accessory tray. The other two boxes contain the power cord and
documentation, and the software licences respectively. Figure 1-1 shows the
contents of each box. When unpacking the boxes keep the contents of each box
separate from the others. Expansion boxes are packed in separate cartons.
Check the contents of the shipping carton against the shipping list to make
sure that it contains everything you ordered.
Inform the delivery agent and your Digital Sales representative if any items
are missing or damaged.
Note
Depending on how you set up your system, you may not use all the components
supplied with your system. Unused parts should be stored safely for future use.
Always repack the system unit in its original packing material when moving
or relocating your system. This precaution will protect the hard disks from
damage.
