Unpacking the System

This section documents unpacking the different models of Fabric Interconnect and verifying the contents of the shipping container. The two models of Fabric Interconnect—the Fabric Interconnect F1-15 and Fabric Interconnect F1-4—contain much of the same hardware and system elements, but there are some slight differences depending on which model you ordered.

Before unpacking the Fabric Interconnect, perform a visual inspection of the shipping container. If a shipping container shows any signs of damage, contact the shipping agent immediately. If the shipping container is not damaged, you can unpack the Fabric Interconnect. See the appropriate section for your Fabric Interconnect:

• Unpack the Fabric Interconnect F1-15

• Unpack the Fabric Interconnect F1-4

  Note - The topics documented in this section are for stand-alone Fabric Interconnect deployments only. The Fabric Interconnect is orderable as a complete, engineered system called the Oracle Virtual Compute Appliance (VCA), which has different contents and installation procedures. If you are deploying a stand-alone (non-VCA) Fabric Interconnect, continue to use this documentation. If you are deploying an VCA Fabric Interconnect, do not use this documentation. Instead, use the documentation that accompanied your VCA shipment.
