Re: V5R4 arriving - is this right? -- MIDRANGE-L

Why does it have to come in multiple packages?

Because its cheaper than paying someone to actually consolidate orders intoa single box (according to whomever did the analysis).


In the past year I have had:
Boxes shipped to me with only a few sheets of paperwork

The wrist grounding strap Jeff mentioned.

Multiple orders of circuit cards where the barcode on the outside of the boxdid not match the product inside the box (all manufactured & boxed in othercountries).

(not a shipping isue, but a quality issue) the two i5's I know of do nothave a working, functional front cover door. They are all broken. IBMstates that front door must be on and closed for proper airflow.

I ordered V5R4 thru my BP last week.  Packages have started arriving.

A couple of packages refer to hardware install instructions, and Ireceived

a wrist strap that one wears for static electricity purposes.  I never got
one of those for a release upgrade before. <g>

Is this what the rest of you have received for V5R4? Or do you think myBP

ordered the wrong thing? <g>
