Unpacking and Inspecting the Server

This section describes procedures you perform before installation. Ensure that you have
adequately prepared your environment for the new server and received all the components you
ordered. Verify that the server and its containers are in good condition after shipment.

Verifying Site Preparation

Verifying site preparation is an essential part of a successful server installation. It includes the
following tasks:
Gather LAN information. Determine the IP addresses for the iLO MP LAN and the system
LAN.
Determine a method to physically connect to the server console.
Verify electrical requirements. Ensure that grounding specifications and power requirements
have been met.
Validate server physical space requirements.
Confirm environmental requirements.
For more information on server electrical, physical space, and environmental requirements, see
the Integrity rx6600 Site Preparation Guide.

Inspecting the Shipping Containers for Damage

Hewlett Packard Enterprise 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 Hewlett
Packard Enterprise 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:

Checking the Inventory

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