2. Check the cabinet and systems for damage. Verify that the cabinets and panels have no dents, scratches, or scrapes. If you notice damage, contact the vendor from which you purchased your systems. If you purchased your systems from NEC Corporation of America, contact the NEC Technical Support. -17- msys104...
Check that the Express5800/320Fc serial number (not the ® Solectron serial number) on the equipment label matches the Express5800/320Fc serial number on the packing list. If the numbers are not identical, contact NEC Technical Support before continuing to unpack the cabinet. -18-...
Stabilizing the Systems If temperature and humidity changes have been extreme during transit, the cabinet and systems might develop condensation. Therefore, before you install and power on the systems, you must inspect them and the cabinet for condensation and, if necessary, stabilize the systems.
4. Continue the installation, and continue to inspect for signs of condensation. If condensation appears, allow additional stabilization periods until there are no signs of condensation. C A U T I O N Before you power on the systems, verify that the installation site environment meets the requirements specified in the Express5800/320Fc: Site Planning Guide.
