Page 13: Unpacking The Cabinet
Unpacking the Cabinet CAUTION: Unpacking the cabinet in a low-temperature environment may cause condensation to occur in and on the cabinet. Do not install the cabinet until the inside and outside of the cabinet are absolutely dry (hazard of electric shock). CAUTION: The cabinet is heavy (see page 60). - Page 14 CAUTION: The cabinet is heavy (see page 60). Lifting the cabinets into the rack requires a minimum of two people. With one person on each side, carefully lift the cabinet out of the outer carton using the handles on the cardboard and set it on a flat, stable surface (see Figure 3). Place the cabinet in a protected area that has adequate airflow and is free of humidity, flammable gas, and corrosion.
