Unpacking And Inspecting The Server - HPE Integrity rx2800 i2 series User's & Service Manual

Unpacking and inspecting the server

This section describes pre installation procedures. Ensure that you have adequately prepared your
environment for installing the new server, received the components that you ordered, and verified that the
server and the containers are in good condition after shipment.
Verifying site preparation
• Gather LAN information. The MAC addresses for the iLO 3 MP LAN and the system LAN are located
on the iLO Network Information Tag.
• Establish a method to connect to the server console.
• Verify electrical requirements. Ensure that grounding specifications and power requirements are met.
• Validate server physical space requirements.
• Confirm environmental requirements.
For server-specific information on electrical, physical space, and environmental requirements, see the site
prep guide. For general site preparation information, see the HPE Generalized Site Preparation Guide
on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.
Inspecting the shipping containers for damage
Under normal shipping conditions, Hewlett Packard Enterprise shipping containers protect the contents.
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, immediately contact your Hewlett Packard Enterprise customer service
representative.
Unpacking the server
Procedure
1. Follow the instructions printed on the outside top flap of the carton to 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:
Inspect each carton for shipping damage as you unpack the server.
Verifying the inventory
The sales order packing slip lists all the equipment shipped from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Use this
packing slip to verify that all equipment has arrived.
NOTE:
To identify each item by part number, see the sales order packing slip.
