Unpacking System Components

When you receive a system component:

  • Inspect the packing slip to ensure that the correct component was received.

  • Inspect the packing container for damage.

Refer to the Warranty Parts Replacement Process and Return Instructions Web Site at http://www.stratus.com/go/support/ftserver/warrantyreplace if either of the following conditions applies to your shipment:

  • You received the wrong shipment.

  • The package is damaged.

If there are no problems, unpack the component.

To unpack a system component

  1. Observing any printed directions or warnings, carefully open the package.

  2. Carefully remove the protective packaging and save it for possible reuse in storing or returning a component.

  3. Verify that you received the correct component by checking the packing slip and the bar code label on the component.

  4. Inspect the component for shipping damage.

  5. If the component is wrapped in an antistatic bag, keep it in the bag until it is installed. If you are not going to install the component immediately, protect it from damage by repacking it in its shipping package.
