Receiving the System
When your MSD system is delivered, it is your responsibility to provide for
removal of the shipping containers from the truck and their storage until
installation. Contact your Agilent Techno logies service representative as soon
as your shipment arrives to arrange an i nstallation date.

Delivery and unloading

The shipping containers are large and heavy. The largest container in the
shipment is 121.9 cm (48 inches) × 121.9 cm × 121.9 cm. It contains several
smaller cartons that can be removed from the large container after delivery t o
facilitate moving them to the location where the instrum ent is to be installed.
After removing the smaller cartons and discarding the outer cont ainer, the
largest remaining carton, may be as large as:
•89 cm (35 inches) high
•81 cm (32 inches) wide
•74 cm (29 inches) deep
•60 kg (132 lbs)
All doorways, hallways, floors, and elevators must be able to accommodate the
largest, heaviest container.

Inspecting for damage

Once the shipping containers are unloaded, examine t hem for any obvious
external damage. If any of the containers appear damaged, note on the
carrier's bill of lading that there is Apparent damage - subject to inspection
and test. Arrange for both the carrier's claims representative and your Agilent
Technologies service representative to be present when the co ntainers are
unpacked.
Do not open any of the shipping cont ainers unless a representative of Agilent
Technologies is present. Opening any of the cont ainers without an Agilent
Technologies representative present will void the rec eiving warranty on
the instrument.
