Before Unpacking the Cabinet
1. Check the packing list to verify that you have received the
correct shipment.
2. Verify that the Tip-N-Tell and Shockwatch handling indicators
on the outside of the shipping container have not been
activated.
CAUTION
!
If you received the wrong shipment or a handling
indicator has been activated, do not proceed
with the unpacking. Contact the vendor from
which you purchased your system and the
shipping carrier immediately.
3. Verify that the area through which you must move the cabinet
has adequate clearance, as the following figures indicate:
• Figure 2 shows the dimensions of a packaged 38U
cabinet.
• Figure 3 shows the dimensions of a packaged 24U
cabinet.

If the corridor and door dimensions are large enough to
accommodate the unpacked cabinet still tied to its pallet, use a
pallet jack to move it from the delivery site to the installation site,
as described in “Moving the Cabinet to the Installation Site” on
page 6.
If the corridor and door dimensions are too small to accommodate
the unpacked cabinet still tied to its pallet, unpack the cabinet and
unload it from the pallet before you move it to the installation site.
In this case, use the pallet jack to move the unpacked cabinet as
close to the installation site as possible. Then, unpack the cabinet,
remove it from its pallet, and roll it carefully on its casters to the
installation site.
Moving the Cabinet to the Installation Site

present, see the section “Stabilizing the Systems”
on page 19 for stabilization guidelines.
When shipped, the system cabinet is tied to the pallet beneath it.
The pallet has a clearance for a pallet jack to move the unit. When
moving a system cabinet, follow these guidelines:
1. Verify that the unpacked cabinet is still secured to the pallet.
2. Use a pallet jack to move the cabinet on its pallet to the
installation site.
CAUTION
!
Use a pallet jack to move the packaged cabinet,
not a forklift. Using a forklift could damage the
cabinet or a system. Use the pallet jack at the
front or rear of the cabinet.
3. Position the cabinet pallet so that it has the clearances shown
in Figure 4.
Unpacking and Checking the Cabinet
Unless you have a service agreement that includes installation of
the system, you need to unpack the cabinet.
To unpack the cabinet
• Make sure you have the correct tools.
• Remove the packing materials.
• Check the cabinet and system.
• Verify the system serial numbers.
• Remove the cabinet from its pallet.
-7-
Tools Needed to Unpack the Cabinet
Use the following tools to unpack the cabinet:
• Metal shears to cut pallet straps
• Pair of scissors or utility knife
• One 3/8-inch drive ratchet with a 9/16-inch socket
Removing the Packing Materials
WARNING
!
To avoid personal injury or damage to the
systems or cabinet, two persons are required
to perform the following procedures.
1. Orient the cabinet package so that the package and the ramp
have, as a minimum, the clearance shown in Figure 4. Also,
verify that you have enough clearance above the cabinet to
remove the top cardboard cap.
2. With one person holding the ramp in place, use the metal
shears to cut the exterior shipping straps. To avoid injury while
cutting each strap, hold the strap firmly with one hand as you
stand away from it. See Figure 5.
WARNING
!
The shipping straps can snap with
considerable force when they are cut. To avoid
eye or skin injuries, use caution when cutting
the shipping straps.

together by a bolt. Unbolt the two pieces. Behind the ramp is
an accessory box, which contains various components and
documentation. Remove the box and set it aside for later use.
4. Construct the ramp by inserting the bevel in the smaller ramp
piece into the larger ramp piece. Set the ramp aside to use
when you remove the cabinet from the pallet.
5. Remove the cardboard pieces of packing material
surrounding the cabinet (see Figure 6). These pieces include
two C-fold sleeves around the sides of the cabinet and a cap
at the top.

3. Check the cabinet and systems for damage, as the next
section describes.
Checking the Cabinet and Systems
Check the cabinet, systems, and optional components for
damage:
1. Open the rear door of the cabinet. From the bottom of the
cabinet, remove and discard the desiccant bags.
2. Check the cabinet and systems for damage. Verify that the
cabinets and panels have no dents, scratches, or scrapes.
If you notice damage, contact the vendor from which you
purchased your systems. If you purchased your systems from
NEC Corporation of America, contact the NEC Technical
Support.
-17-
Verifying the Express5800/320Fd Serial Number
Find the equipment label to check the Express5800/320Fd serial
number. To find the equipment label, open the rear door of the
cabinet. The equipment label is attached to the rear of each
system.
Check that the Express5800/320Fd serial number (not the
Sol
ect
®
ron
serial number) on the equipment label matches the
Express5800/320Fd serial number on the packing list. If the
numbers are not identical, contact NEC Technical Support before
continuing to unpack the cabinet.
-18-
Stabilizing the Systems
If temperature and humidity changes have been extreme during
transit, the cabinet and systems might develop condensation.
Therefore, before you install and power on the systems, you must
inspect them and the cabinet for condensation and, if necessary,
stabilize the systems. To stabilize the systems, let the cabinet
stand, unpacked and without its plastic wrap, in the open air of an
office environment.
1. Inspect each cabinet and system for condensation. Use the
guidelines in Ta b le 1 to determine if a system requires a
stabilization period before you install it and power it on.

2. After the stabilization period, if you still notice signs of
condensation inside or outside the cabinet, allow an additional
stabilization period of two hours. Repeat the two-hour period,
if necessary, until there are no signs of condensation. Then,
continue to the next step.
3. Remove the desiccant bags and the cardboard tray in which
they were shipped, if these items are still present.
-19-
4. Continue the installation, and continue to inspect for signs of
condensation. If condensation appears, allow additional
stabilization periods until there are no signs of condensation.
CAUTION
!
Before you power on the systems, verify that the
installation site environment meets the
requirements specified in the
Express5800/320Fd: Site Planning Guide.
Disposing of Shipping Materials
The shipping materials contain no hazardous materials. Dispose
of the shipping materials according to applicable procedures or
local regulations. Stratus recommends, however, that you retain
one or two undamaged containers and their shipping materials in
case you need to repack the cabinet for later shipment.
