DS8000 Service Documentation Version 7.5

Unpacking the expansion rack and verifying the ship group is complete

Procedure

  1. On each rack being installed, open the front and rear covers.
    1. Open the front cover.
    2. Open the left rear cover (customer access area).
    3. Open the right rear cover (trained service personnel access area only). Remove the two screws  1 . See Figure 1. The screws must be reinstalled when the cover is closed to prevent customer access.

  3. 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.
  4. 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 packed in the large ship group box. The side covers 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.
  5. Place the ship group parts list in the document enclosure (front upper left of rack 1). This list can be used for future removal of the storage facility.
