The

deals
only
and
specifically
with
the

device
as
a
unit.
The
purpose
of
this
chapter
is the
description
of
the
device
and
its
identifiable
parts
so
that
the
user
is
sufficiently
familiar
to
interact
with the
physical
unit.
Preliminary
setup
information
provided
below
is
intended
for
information
and
instruction
of the

It
is
intended,
and
is
the
philosophy
of
the
manufacturer,
that
the
user
not
be
required
to
open
the
individual
unit.
Any
maintenance
required
is
limited
to
the
external
enclosure
surface,
cable
connections
and
to
the
management
software
only.
A
failed
unit
should
be
returned
to
the
manufacturer
for
maintenance.
