Site Inspection

Table 4-1 “Customer and Hewlett-Packard Information” contains a sample of the Customer and Hewlett-Packard information required.

Table 4-2 “Site Inspection Checklist” contains a sample site inspection checklist.




	IMPORTANT: Ensure that the customer is aware of the iCOD email requirements. That is, each bootable partition requires a connection to the internet to send email to notify Hewlett-Packard that the customer has allocated additional CPUs beyond the amount initially purchased. Each bootable partition must be configured to perform this operation.

For more details, go to http://superdome.hp.com and click on the iCOD link.




	NOTE: Table 4-1 “Customer and Hewlett-Packard Information” and Table 4-2 “Site Inspection Checklist” are provided as examples only. To ensure use of the current information specific to your site preparation, refer to the Site Readiness Review Section of the Deployment Manager's Handbook.
