Unpacking the IPE Module and Application Module
components
After you have received and checked the IPE Module or Application
Module components, use the following procedure to unpack them.
The IPE Module and Application Module are carefully packaged for
maximum protection against physical damage during shipment. Retain the
packaging material in case any equipment needs to be returned.
1
Move the equipment (on its shipping pallet, if it was received on a
pallet) as close as possible to its final location.
2
If the equipment is mounted on a pallet, do the following:
¥
Remove any shipping bolts from the underside of the pallet.
¥
Gently move the equipment from the pallet and place it as close
as possible to the final location .
3
Cut any remaining strapping and tape. Remove the transport
protection devices and loosen the stretch wrap film (if provided) from
the equipment. This stretch wrap film can be removed at your own
discretion; however, it is advisable to keep the wrapping loosely
around the equipment during handling.
4
Remove any miscellaneous equipment (such as the disk unit, power
supplies, and tape unit for the Application Module) from the carton
and check for any obvious missing parts or breakages.
5
Check printed circuit packs for any loose parts, broken edges, and
other obvious damage that may have occurred during transport.
6
Inspect the equipment for the following:
¥
damaged connectors or connectors containing foreign material
¥
defects in the molded plastic covers
¥
any loose items remaining in the shipping cartons
7
Using a flashlight, check that there are no broken pins or shrouds on
the backplane connectors.
8
Check tape cartridges to ensure that they are not broken. If a tape
appears to be resting against the front (plastic) surface of the
cartridge, give the cartridge a gentle tap to relieve the tape. You do
not need to center the tape.
