WARNING! The typical rp54xx system can weigh up to 68kg (150lbs). HP recommends using an an approved lifting device. Lift and move the server in accordance with all local safety regulations. Failure to follow this precaution can cause injury to personnel or damage to equipment.

Unpacking the server

The following procedure describes the steps involved in unpacking the server, whether to function as a stand-alone Deskside unit, or to be integrated into a cabinet.

  1. Remove the shipping carton and anti-static bag from the server as depicted below.

    NOTE: The packaging for rp74xx and rp54xx Servers is the same, rp74xx is shown.
  2. If you are moving the server manually, use three people to lift the server from the packing material and pallet. Carefully move the server to the selected location.

  3. If you are moving the server by an approved lifting device (such as Genie Lift ™), remove the tear flap from the front lip of the carton bottom to allow access to the server, as illustrated below. Removal of the tear flap will reveal a slot between the bottom of the server and the inside bottom of the cardboard box.

  4. Carefully raise the lift’s platform so that it will slide into the slot located under the center of the server, but over the top of the pallet.

    NOTE: The server’s center of gravity will vary with the hardware configuration, but it is generally located slightly behind the middle of the server.
  5. Raise the lifting device platform enough for the server to clear the pallet and packing materials, as show below.
