Unpacking The Server; Unpacking A Racked Server - HP rp7420 Service Manual

2 Unpacking the Server

HP 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 roll to the upper position
if the container was tilted to an angle that could cause equipment damage. The tilt indicator itself
has two windows, and each window, under normal conditions, shows four beads present. If a
carton was mishandled or accidentally dropped, the tilt indicator indicates 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 might 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 might come already racked or ready for rack installation.
