Unpacking the A3 System

Unpack the Archive Engine and Media Library shipping boxes. Ensure that you have all

required components. Refer to

“A3 System Shipping Components” on page 1 for the shipping

inventory list.

Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold your equipment. It should be

situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise

and electromagnetic fields are generated. You will also need it placed near a grounded power

outlet. Be sure to read the Rack and Server Precautions in the previous chapter.

Preparing for Setup

The box your chassis was shipped in should include two sets of rail assemblies, two rail

mounting brackets and the mounting screws you will need to install the system into the rack.

Please read this section in its entirety before you begin the installation procedure outlined in the

sections that follow.
