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, received the components that you ordered, and
verified that the server and its containers are in good condition after shipment.

Verifying Site Preparation

Verifying site preparation is essential for a successful server installation and includes the following
tasks.
1. Gather LAN information and determine the two separate IP addresses for the iLO MP LAN
and the system LAN.
2. Establish a method to connect to the server console.
3. Verify electrical requirements and ensure that grounding specifications and power
requirements are met.
4. Validate server physical space requirements.
5. Confirm environmental requirements.

Inspecting the Shipping Containers for Damage

HP 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 the carton, contact your HP customer service
representative immediately.

Unpacking the Server

To unpack a non-racked server, follow these steps:
NOTE:
When moving a non-racked server, HP recommends the use of a lifter, such as a RonI
Company model 17000 SP 400 lifting device.
1. Use the instructions printed on the outside top flap of the carton.
2. Remove the banding and the outer carton from the server pallet.
3. 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 of the equipment shipped from HP. To verify that all of the
equipment has arrived, check the sales order packing slip with what is in the cartons.
56 Installing the System
Inspect each carton for shipping damage as you unpack the server.
