Unpacking a compute node

Each node is shipped in a separate container from the storage shelves. Both types of devices are shrink-wrapped together. Veritas recommends that you have a table nearby where you can safely place the contents of the containers.

Warning:

The nodes weigh 30kg (66 lbs) each. Be sure that you have adequate personnel or a mechanical lift to move the node.

To unpack the node

  1. Open the cardboard container.
  2. Remove the Open Me First box and the poster at the top of the container.
  3. Remove the rail template from the Open Me First box.

    The template shows where the left-hand rail and the right-hand rail fit into the front and the rear of the rack.

    Fold the template at the yellow horizontal lines. There are two lines; one in the middle and one at the bottom of the template. Then you can align the rack holes in the template to the rack holes in your equipment rack.

  4. Remove the bezel.
  5. Remove the mounting rails.
  6. Remove the accessory box that contains the fasteners, the power cords, and other contents.
  7. Remove the node from the shipping container.
