Chapter 4: System Setup
Unpacking the equipment
After carefully unpacking the equipment, save all packing materials, as they will
prove useful should it become necessary to transport the equipment later. Inspect
the equipment carefully for any sign of damage incurred during transportation.
This equipment has undergone stringent quality control inspection and tests
prior to packing and was in perfect condition when it left the factory. However,
if the equipment shows any signs of damage, notify the transportation company
without delay. Only you, the consignee, may institute a claim against the carrier
for damage during transportation.
Clearance at rear of units
Ensure an adequate clearance at the rear of the units to provide sufficient free
space to enable cables to achieve their minimum bend radius.
