Procedure

Chapter 2 Setting Up and Configuring the Multi Services Platform

Unpacking the Multi Services Platform

•2 RU model—Ships in two boxes. One box contains the chassis and one box contains from 4 to 12 hard drives.

•4 RU model—Ships in two or three boxes. One box contains the chassis. If you ordered up to 12 hard drives, they are included in one additional box. If you ordered more than 12 hard drives, they are included in two additional boxes.

To unpack the Multi Services Platform, follow these steps:

Procedure

Step 1 If your shipment includes two or three boxes, make sure that the serial number that is printed on the shipping label on each box is the same.

Caution If the serial numbers are not identical, contact Cisco or your Cisco partner before you set up the system. Operating a Multi Services Platform with mismatched components causes the system to rebuild the disk array and prevents the system from operating.

Step 2 Carefully open each shipping box and remove its contents.

Step 3 Make sure that the box in which the chassis shipped includes these items:

•Rail assemblies for rack mounting

•SUSE license and activation packet

•Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document

•Envelope that contains the following:

–Getting Started with Cisco Video Surveillance Manager Products

–Recovery disk

–End User License and Warranty Information disk

–One or two power cables (depending on how many power supplies you ordered for your server).

–Screws and washers for rack mounting
