Verify all Equipment has Arrived
Check the equipment against the shipping invoice to make sure that all the
ordered equipment has arrived. You can only check some items, such as cables,
after the equipment is unpacked.
■
Unpacking the Shipment
Follow these steps to unload the equipment (drives, CSL or drive trays, or a
rack):
WARNING:
Personal injury or equipment damage. Be aware of floor openings,
cables, and other obstructions that might injure you or damage the
equipment while you are moving and positioning the equipment.
1. Move the equipment as close as possible to the installation area. The rack
has casters and can be rolled into the final position.
2. Open the shipping carton and remove the contents.
Note: Make arrangements with the customer to dispose of the shipping
cartons and packaging material.
3. Position the unpacked equipment near the final location according to the
customer’s floor plan, but leave enough space to enable you to connect and
route the cables.
Note: Service clearances for the rack configuration are shown in Figure 3-1
on page 3-3 .

Inspecting the Equipment
1. Remove all accompanying documentation (such as the 9840 Tape Drive
Product Manual) and component packages, then place them aside.
2. Make sure the serial numbers correspond with the shipping invoice.
