DS8000 Service Documentation Version 7.5

Unpacking the expansion rack and verifying the ship group is complete

Procedure

  1. If the expansion rack was shipped directly from IBM manufacturing, remove the CE Unpacking Instructions from the Customer Engineer envelope that is taped to the front of the storage facility below the CEC enclosures. Use the CE Unpacking Instructions to unpack the storage facility frame(s) and prepare it for installation.
  2. Verify that all items in the ship group were received.
    1. The ship group comes in one or more large boxes on pallets. The customer may not allow the pallet and large box in their machine room. Consequently, you can end up with a pile of parts on the floor.
    2. The side decorative covers that go between the racks are either packed in a separate long narrow box (early version) or are packed in the large ship group box (later version). The side covers for the later version fold in half.
    3. If the expansion rack is from IBM manufacturing, the hardcopy listing of the ship group contents is shipped loose with the other parts inside the large boxes. If it is missing, check if it was accidently discarded along with the pallets and large boxes. An additional copy of the paperwork may be included in the CE Envelope.
    4. The official ship group listing of parts is included in the ship group. Table 1 is for reference only.
