Unpacking Systems

Not-racked Oracle FS System components are shipped in separate cardboard cartons on a pallet.

Each shipping carton contains the following items taped on the cardboard:

Customer system record
Product label
Component label

2 Product label

Note: The graphic of the shipping carton labels is representative and there might be slight variations in your packaging.

The customer system record lists all the components and replaceable units along with their associated part numbers.

The product label includes the following information:

Top level Marketing number
Manufacturing part number
Top level serial Number
Site code (HLS)
Box count
Date of manufacturing
Country of origin

The component labels identify the component inside the shipping carton and the sequence number of the component. For example, the Controllers are labeled as “CU 1” and “CU 2”. The Pilots are labeled “PLT 1” and “PLT 2”. The Drive Enclosures are labeled as “DE 1” “DE 2,” and so on. The Replication Engines are labeled as “MAXREP 1”, “MAXREP 2”, “MAXREP 3”, or “MAXREP 4”. Power, network, and labeled cables are shipped in an accessory box that is labeled as “Cables.”. The component labels help facilitate the assembly of an Oracle FS System at the customer site and are usually temporary.

Note: While ordering or receiving multiple not-racked Oracle FS Systems, it is critical to make sure that all shipping cartons are grouped by the top level serial number. If components from systems with different system serial numbers are mixed, the resulting assembled systems will not boot.

Besides, Drive Enclosures and Controllers have seven segment identification displays that indicate the chassis ID. The seven segment displays on the Drive Enclosures and Controllers can be changed by the customer.

Note: To avoid a disconnect between the temporary component label and the chassis ID displayed on the seven segment display, Oracle recommends removing the temporary labels after installing a not-racked system.

A Before You Begin document inside the shipping carton provides some basic instructions for unpacking, cabling, and drive replacement procedures. A generic Sun Server X3-2 manual is also available in the carton along with an instruction card for installing the rack rails on the Pilot.
