TMS ships the RamSan-500 with a packing list. Ensure that you have

received all of the components listed.

1) Examine the external chassis for any damage that might have

occurred during shipping.

2) Examine the Flash modules to ensure that they were not damaged

during shipping.

3) Inspect the interface plate for any screws that might have loosened

during shipping.

4) Inspect the front panel display for damage.

5) Report any meaningful damage to Texas Memory Systems.

2.2 System Overview

All nine Flash storage modules can be quickly accessed from the front

of the RamSan-500. Each module has an interlocking system with the

look and feel of a typical disk drive. The Flash module can be removed

while system power is on, once the module has been selected to go

off-line (indicated when both module LEDs are off). Additionally, all

nine Flash modules can be removed and reinstalled into another

RamSan-500 unit.
