What does "ship group" mean?

Can anybody explain what the phrase "ship group" means? It is in an IBM instruction and has to do with computers. The whole sentence is

Your order information should be located in the ship group next to your system box.

I guess it's a sort of packing or box, or a set of equipment, or something else. Unfortunately I haven't found any explanation in dictionaries.
Google with this phrase "ship group" usually refers to vessels, but I don't think that vessels have to do with the sentence. Emotion: wink

I have never heard this expression before, but I imagine it means a group of items that are shipped (i.e. delivered) to you together.

I vote for the "packaging or box." It has to be a real world physical box. If it were a virtual box, there'd be a button to click to reveal it to you. I think these are hard copies.

Sorry about the danged edits!

Edit.

That is, I'm thinking there's a big box with smaller boxes inside, one of which is the "system box."[:^)]
