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 an essential factor of a successful server installation, and includes the
following tasks:
Gather LAN information. The IP addresses for the iLO 2 MP LAN and the system LAN are
located on the right side of the server near the bezel, above the rack mounting rail.
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
Chapter 2 (page
Generic Site Preparation Guidelines.

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 the server:
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:

Checking the Inventory

The sales order packing slip lists all the equipment shipped from HP. Use this packing slip to verify
that all of the equipment has arrived.
