5.2  General Installation Guidelines

5.2.1  Unpacking

Consider the following when unpacking and storing the system:

• Leave the system packed until it is needed for immediate installation.

• After unpacking the system, save and store the packaging material in case the system 

must be returned.

If the packaging is damaged and possible system damage is present, report to the shipper and 
analyze the damage.

5.2.2  Ensuring Proper Airflow  

• Maintain ambient airflow to ensure normal operation. If the airflow is blocked or 

restricted, or if the intake air is too warm, an overtemperature condition can occur. 

• Ensure that cables from other equipment do not obstruct the airflow through the sys-

tems. 

• Use the filler panels (included in the scope of delivery) to cover all empty chassis slots. 

The filler panel prevents fan air from escaping out of the front of an open slot. 



If necessary, use air baffles (available as accessories) to prevent air short circuits in 
unused slots.
