Mainframe should be inspected to ensure that no shipping damage has occurred.

NSPECTION
Perform a visual inspection of the shipping container prior to accepting the
package from the carrier. If damage to the shipping container is evident, a
description of that damage should be noted on the carrier's receipt and signed by
the carrier's driver.
Verify that the proper Mainframe and associated accessories/options have been
received. Perform a visual inspection of the Mainframe after it is removed from
the shipping container. Check for shipping damage such as dents, scratches, or
distortion of the enclosure.
If external damage is evident, there may be internal damage as well. Immediately
contact the carrier and file a claim for concealed damage. In addition, the
shipping container and filler material should be saved for inspection. Forward a
report of the damage to the Customer Care Department where an associate will
provide instructions for repair or replacement of the unit.

ONSIDERATIONS
The ReFlex Power™ Mainframe is designed for rack-mounting using slides or
rails. It incorporates mounting holes along the sides to accept screws for
attachment of rack slides. Front mounting flanges are used to secure the
Mainframe chassis to the rack frame.
The modules used with the Mainframe are fan–cooled and require adequate
clearance at the front and back of the Mainframe for proper airflow. The air intake
is at the front of the Mainframe, through the installed modules, while the exhaust
is at the rear.
To fulfill proper air circulation requirements, ensure that:
• Install filler panel(s) in any empty slot(s) of the Mainframe.
• ambient air temperature at the air intake does not exceed 55 °C
Because the modules of the Mainframe use forced convection cooling, the air
flow through the unit can pull in dust. In environments having high concentrations
of dust, periodic cleaning may be required. The exterior of the unit should be
cleaned with a mild solution of detergent and water. The solution should be
applied onto a soft cloth, and not directly to the surface of the unit. To prevent
damage to materials, do not use aromatic hydrocarbons or chlorinated solvents
for cleaning.
