Verifying site preparation
Verifying site preparation is an essential factor of a successful server blade installation, and includes the following tasks:
•Gather LAN information. Determine the two IP addresses for the iLO 3 MP LAN and the server blade LAN.
•Establish a method to connect to the server blade console. For more information on console connection methods, see “Using iLO 3” (page 25) for more information.
•Verify electrical requirements. Be sure that grounding specifications and power requirements are met.
•Confirm environmental requirements.
Inspect 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 the carton, contact your HP customer service representative immediately.
Unpacking the server blade
1.Use the instructions printed on the outside top flap of the carton.
2.Remove inner accessory cartons and the top foam cushions.
IMPORTANT: Inspect each carton for shipping damage as you unpack the server blade.
3.Place the server blade on an antistatic pad.
Verifying the inventory
The sales order packing slip lists the equipment shipped from HP. Use this packing slip to verify that 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, immediately contact your HP customer service representative. The service representative initiates appropriate action through the transport carrier or the factory and assists you in returning the equipment.
