Installation

Unpacking the Server

Hewlett-Packard shipping containers are designed to protect their contents under normal shipping conditions. After the equipment arrives, carefully inspect each carton for signs of shipping damage. A tilt indicator is installed on each carton shipped. The beads in the indicator will roll to the upper position if the container has been tilted to an angle that could cause equipment damage. The tilt indicator itself will have two windows and each window under normal conditions will show four beads present. If a carton has been mishandled, accidentally dropped, or knocked against something, the tilt indicator will indicate missing beads. If damage is found, document the damage with photographs and contact the transport carrier immediately.

Examine the server cabinet for visible shipping damage. After unpacking the cabinet, check for damage that may have been obscured by the shipping container. If damage is found after visual inspection, document the damage with photographs and contact the transport carrier immediately.

If the equipment has any damage, a damage claim form must be obtained by the customer from the shipping representative. The customer should complete the form and return it to the shipping representative.

NOTE	The server may come already racked, or ready for rack installation.

This section contains information pertaining to unpacking the cabinet.

WARNING Wear protective glasses while cutting the plastic bands around the shipping container. These bands are under tension. When cut, they can spring back and cause serious eye injury.

NOTE		Position the pallet allowing for enough space to roll the cabinet off the pallet before starting.
Remove the cabinet using the following procedure:
Step	1.	Cut the polystrap bands around the shipping container.
Step	2.	Lift the cardboard top cap from the shipping box. See Figure 2-1.
Step	3.	Remove the corrugated wrap from the pallet.
Step	4.	Remove the packing materials.
