Installation 2
Before starting the installation, read through these instructions thoroughly. Important information
is included in this guide that is crucial to a succ essful installation.

Step 1: Unpack and Inspect Stratagy IVP8

1. When you receive the system, examine all packages carefully and note any visible damage. If
you find any damage, do not open the packages. Contact the delivery carrier immediately and
make the proper claims.
2. Check the items contained in the packages against the packing list. In addition to the hardware
components, you should receive an anti-static wrist strap, a caution sticker and a
documentation package with the StratagyIVP8.
3. Inspect all equipment for damage. If equipment is missing or damaged, contact your supplier
immediately.
4. Remove any shipping tape and packing material used to protect the system during shipment.
Retain the packing materials for re-use when transporting system hardware.
CAUTION!
You will be handling the StratagyIVP8 when it is most fragile — unpacked and exposed.
The StratagyIVP8, if handled properly, will give long, reliable service. To ensure that the
unit is not damaged during installation or maintenance, follow these precautions.
Damage may not always be immediately evident (e.g., no physical damage on the outside of
the unit) and system failure may result weeks o r months later.
•Handle the StratagyIVP8 with care. Mechanical shock from dropping, shaking, excessive
force when seating the board into the slot, rocking a connector on or other activities can
severely damage the disk assembly or the disk’s printed circuit board.
•Wear the anti-static wrist strap included in the package. It can also be re-used and left
with the StrataCTX or Strata DK cabinet. An electrostatic charge from your body can
damage the drive or circuitry permanently.
•Hold the StratagyIVP8 by the edges or the strap and never touch the board’s surface.
Pressure on the printed circuit board or contaminants from your hands (e.g., skin oil,
food particles, hand lotion) can cause component failure.
