5Remove the protective foam and the two boxes on top of the system.
6Fold back the plastic covering on the unit and fold down the carton at the front and back of the system.
7With one person at the front of the system and one at the back, carefully slide your hands between the system and its plastic cover where there are openings in the supporting foam, lift the system out of the carton, and put it on the table or other surface.
The unit is heavy. You must have two people lift it out of the box. With one person at each end, slide your hands underneath
the unit and over the plastic sheet in which it is wrapped. Working together, lift the unit carefully using your knees,
not your back.
8Remove the protective film that covers the front of the system.
9If there is a plastic bracket that covers the center part of the system’s back panel, remove it.
This bracket holds the components securely in place during shipping.
10Remove the mounting hardware and power cords from the two separate boxes, as well as the system’s documentation.
11Write down the system serial number you see on the back panel. Also copy the Ethernet Media Access Control (MAC) number from the label on each control module (at the top and bottom in the center of the system). You will need these numbers when setting up and working with the monitoring and admin software.
