Re: Documenting Hardware....yikes

Leanne,

At the risk of missing something in my previous post, when I concentrated on 
the hardware disassembly and reassembly, I am adding some additional notes for 
you to ask when you talk to your engineers.

1) Is the unit available for you to work on?
2) Are there instructions (however scant, on how to calibrate)?
3) Are there any instructions from your engineers for the maintenance of the 
unit?
     This includes at a minimum, cleaning, vacuuming, replacing parts.
4)  What special requirements are there for power, weight bearing walls, 
floors, 
     climatic control?
5) Can the unit be installed by 1 person, 2 people, how many?
6)  What architectural modification s will be need to exist for the 
installation of the 
      unit?
7) Do the unit need to provide periodic, on-call, or scheduled maintenance?
8)  What are the shipping requirements for the unit (USPS, UPS/FedEx/DHL,
     Trucking, rail)?

Been there, done that, got burned for not asking the questions.

Hope this helps.
