    Inspecting the Shipping Containers for Damage HP shipping containers are designed to protect their contents under normal shipping conditions. After the equipment arrives at the customer site, carefully inspect each carton for signs of shipping damage. WARNING! Do not attempt to move the cabinet, packed or unpacked, up or down an incline of more than 15 degrees.

  • Page 11 Position the packaged cabinet so that a clear area about three times the length of the package (about 12 feet or 3.66 m) is available in front of the unit, and at least 2 feet (0.61 m) are available on the sides. Figure 3 Front of Cabinet Container WARNING! Do not stand directly in front of the strapping while cutting it.
  • Page 12 Lift the cardboard corrugated top cap off the shipping box. Remove the corrugated sleeves surrounding the cabinet. CAUTION: Cut the plastic wrapping material off rather than pulling it off. Pulling the plastic covering off creates an ESD hazard to the hardware. Remove the stretch wrap, the front and rear top foam inserts, and the four corner inserts from the cabinet.
  • Page 13 Remove the plastic antistatic bag by lifting it straight up off the cabinet. If the cabinet or any components are damaged, follow the claims procedure. Some damage can be repaired by replacing the damaged part. If you find extensive damage, you might need to repack and return the entire cabinet to HP.
