Unpacking and Preparing the Cluster
Unpacking and Preparing the Cluster
Linux Networx recommends that your cluster should be unpacked only by an authorized Linux Networx
representative. If you are unpacking and setting up the cluster yourself, follow the instructions in this guide to
remove the rack enclosure and hosts from the container.
Before you begin, inspect all shipping cartons for evidence of physical damage—if a carton is damaged,
request that the carrier's agent be present when you open the carton and make all packing materials and
contents available for the agent’s inspection. If your equipment is damaged or if you are missing a host, contact
Linux Networx immediately.
Warning!
To prevent personal injury, DO NOT attempt to lift the rack enclosure—rack enclosures can weigh
up to 500 lbs. Hosts are sensitive pieces of computer equipment. To avoid damaging hosts, do not
drop them or place them where they can be exposed to the elements.
Tip
The door on the shipping crate is designed to lower into a ramp. Rack enclosures are equipped with
wheels that allow them to roll from the shipping crate to another location.
Shipping and Storing the Cluster
After unpacking the rack enclosure(s) and other materials, return the original shipping crates and green boxes
to Linux Networx using the return address labels included in the envelope marked “Return Address Labels.”
Should you have any questions about returning shipping materials, contact Linux Networx Customer Support.
Note
International shipping requirements vary from continental U.S. shipments. With international
shipping, most key components ship separately in form-molded foam boxes. There is no need to
return these boxes to Linux Networx; however, you may want to save a few boxes in the event you
need to return a host.
