Receiving the Snowball Edge

When you receive the Amazon Snowball Edge device, you might notice that it doesn't come in a box. The device is its own physically rugged shipping container. When the device first arrives, inspect it for damage or obvious tampering. If you notice anything that looks suspicious about the device, don't connect it to your internal network. Instead, contact Amazon Web Services Support and inform them of the issue so that a new device can be shipped to you.
