Inspecting the Shipping Containers for Damage

HP shipping containers protect their contents under normal shipping conditions. After the equipment arrives, carefully inspect each carton for signs of shipping damage. Shipping damage constitutes moderate to severe damage, such as punctures in the corrugated carton, crushed boxes, or large dents. Normal wear or slight damage to the carton is not considered shipping damage. If you find shipping damage to a carton, contact your HP customer service representative immediately.

Unpacking the Server

To unpack a server, follow these steps:

1.Read the instructions printed on the outside top flap of the carton; remove the banding and the outer carton from the server pallet.

2.Remove all inner accessory cartons and the top foam cushions, leaving only the server.

IMPORTANT: Inspect each carton for shipping damage as you unpack the server.

Checking the Inventory

The sales order packing slip lists all the equipment shipped from HP. Use this packing slip to verify that all the equipment has arrived.

NOTE: To identify each item by part number, see the sales order packing slip.

Returning Damaged Equipment

If the equipment is damaged, contact your HP customer service representative immediately. The service representative initiates appropriate action through the transport carrier or the factory and assists you in returning the equipment.

Unloading the Server with a Lifter

WARNING! Use caution when using a lifter. Because of the weight of the HP Integrity rx3600 server, you must center the server on the lifter forks before lifting it off the pallet to avoid injury.

NOTE: HP recommends that you follow local guidelines when lifting equipment.

To unload the server from the pallet using a lifter, follow these steps:

1.Unpack the server.

2.Unroll the bottom corrugated tray on the side where you will place the lifter, and slide the server as close to that edge of the pallet as possible.

3.Break off any foam packaging that can prevent you from fully inserting the lifter under the server.

IMPORTANT: Do not remove the foam packaging from the corners of the server. This foam is required to elevate the server and enable the forks of the lifter to be inserted under the server.

4.Insert the lifter forks under the server.

5.Roll the lifter forward carefully until it is fully positioned against the side of the server.

6.Raise the server slowly off the pallet until it clears the pallet cushions.

7.Roll the lifter and server away from the pallet. Do not raise the server any higher than necessary when moving it to the rack.
