INSPECTION and INSTALLATION

Your unit was carefully packed at the factory in a protective carton. Nonetheless,
be sure to examine the unit and the carton for any signs of damage that may have
occurred during shipping. If there is such evidence, don't destroy the carton or packing
material, and notify your dealer immediately.

It's a good idea in any case to save the carton and packing should you ever need to
ship the unit.

In the event of initial problems, first contact your dealer; your unit was thoroughly
inspected and tested at the factory.

The carton should contain this owner's manual, a l§OX of course, and a warranty /
registration card. Please fill the card out and send it to us. The carton also should con-
tain hardware for rack-mounting both a single unit (screws, a long ear [half-rack width],
a small L-bracket, and a short rack ear) and two units together (side plates along with a
screwdriven joiner). See below.

No special ventilation is required in any installation; other components may be
stacked above or below your 150X provided they don't generate excessive heat.
