Unpacking and Inspecting the Server

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.
Step 1. Gather LAN information and determine the two separate IP addresses for the Integrity iLO MP
LAN and the system LAN.
Step 2. Establish a method to connect to the server console.
Step 3. Verify electrical requirements and ensure that grounding specifications and power requirements
are met.
Step 4. Validate server physical space requirements.
Step 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 nonracked server, follow these steps.
NOTE HP recommends the use of a lifter, such as a RonI Company model 17000 SP 400 lifting device,
when moving a nonracked system.
Step 1. Use the instructions printed on the outside top flap of the carton; remove the banding and the outer
carton from the server pallet.
Step 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.

Checking the Inventory

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