Using an AWS Snowball Edge Device
For information about unlocking an AWS Snowball Edge device, see Using the Snowball Client.
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 AWS Support
The following image shows what the AWS Snowball Edge device looks like.
The device has three doors—a front, a back, and a top—that all can be opened by latches. The top door contains the power cable for the device. The other two doors can be opened and slid inside the device so that they're out of the way while you're using it. By opening the doors, you get access to the LCD E Ink display embedded in the front side of the device, and the power and network ports in the back.
After your device arrives and is powered on, you're ready to use it.
