2.3 Unpacking and Removing CPE Systems from a Shock Pallet

A preconfigured CPE cluster can weigh several hundred pounds (or kilos). The Best Practices for
HP 10000 Series and HP 10000 G2 Series Racks white paper provides important information on
unpacking the rack and removing it from its shock pallet. When unpacking and removing a CPE
system from a shock pallet, follow the safety instructions described in that white paper:

Note:
The instructions to remove a rack from a shock pallet are also printed on the side of the cardboard
packaging.

2.4 Installation and Start-up

The CP Workgroup System is cabled and ready to be powered on. HP recommends that you
check all of the cable connections to make sure that they are seated properly before powering
on the cluster. If a cable is loose or not connected, see the
to make the necessary connections.
Warning!
Adhere to the point-to-point cabling tables and do not change the configuration. Doing so might
result in poor performance, system failure, or damage to the system.
To power on your system after you have checked the cabling, follow these steps:
1. Connect the power cables to the power supply, if necessary.
2. Connect the power cables to the power source or to a PDU in the cabinet.
3. Turn on the AC circuit breakers that supply power to the cables installed in the enclosure
(see Section
The CP Workgroup System is factory tested prior to shipment to your site. Operating system
software is installed at the factory. For more information on setting up the enclosure and powering

CP Workgroup System configurations ship with the rack components installed. If you intend to
upgrade the enclosure, HP recommends that you read the HP BladeSystem c-Class Enclosure User
Guide before moving on to HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator (OA) setup. Reading this
guide in order ensures that you will obtain an overall understanding of the HP BladeSystem
Onboard Administrator, and that you properly complete the initial setup to facilitate proper
functioning of the Onboard Administrator. For more information, see the HP BladeSystem Onboard
