Unpacking and Inspecting

This section describes what to do before unpacking the server and how to unpack the system itself.




	WARNING! Do not attempt to move the cabinet, either packed or unpacked, up or down an incline of more than 15^o.

Verifying Site Preparation

Verifying site preparation includes two tasks: gathering LAN information and verifying electrical requirements.

Gathering LAN Information

The SMS connects to the customer’s LAN. Determine the IP of the appropriate address.

Verifying Electrical Requirements

The site should have been verified for proper grounding and electrical requirements prior to the system being shipped to the customer as part of the site preparation. Before unpacking and installing the system, verify with the customer that grounding specifications and power requirements have been met.

Checking the Inventory

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




	NOTE: To identify each item by part number, refer to the sales order packing slip.

One of the large overpack containers is labeled “Open Me First.” This box contains the Solution Information Manual and DDCAs. The unpacking instructions are in the plastic bag taped to the cabinet.

The following items are in other containers and should be checked against the packing list:

Power Distribution Control Assembly (PDCA) and power cord
Two blower housings per cabinet
Four blowers per cabinet
Four side skins with related attachment hardware
Cabinet blower bezels and front door assemblies
Support Management Station
Cables
Optional equipment
Boot device with HP-UX, Windows, and/or Linux installed.

Inspecting the Shipping Containers for Damage

HP shipping containers are designed to protect their contents under normal shipping conditions. After the equipment arrives at the customer site, carefully inspect each carton for signs of shipping damage.




	WARNING! Do not attempt to move the cabinet, either packed or unpacked, up or down an incline of more than 15^o.

A tilt indicator is installed on the back and side of the cabinet shipping container. If the container has been tilted to an angle that could cause equipment damage, the beads in the indicator shift positions. If a carton has received a physical shock and the tilt indicator is in an abnormal condition, visually inspect the unit for any signs of damage. If damage is found, document the damage with photographs, and contact the transport carrier immediately.

Figure 2-1 Tilt Indicator (Normal)

Figure 2-2 Tilt Indicator (Abnormal)




	NOTE: If the tilt indicator shows that an abnormal shipping condition has occurred, write “possible hidden damage” on the bill of lading, and keep the packaging.

Inspection Precautions

When the shipment arrives, check each container against the carrier's bill of lading. Inspect the exterior of each container immediately for mishandling or damage during transit. If any of the containers are damaged, request the carrier's agent be present when the container is opened.
When unpacking the container(s), inspect each item for external damage. Look for broken controls and connectors, dented corners, scratches, bent panels, and loose components.




	NOTE: Hewlett-Packard recommends keeping the shipping container or the packaging material. If it becomes necessary to repackage the cabinet, the original packing material will be needed. If discarding the shipping container or packaging material, please dispose of them in an environmentally responsible manner (recycle, if possible).

Claims Procedures

If the shipment is incomplete, the equipment is damaged, or it fails to meet specifications, notify the nearest Hewlett-Packard Sales and Service Office. If damage occurred in transit, notify the carrier as well.

Hewlett-Packard will arrange for replacement or repair without waiting for settlement of claims against the carrier. In the event of damage in transit, retain the packing container and packaging materials for inspection.

Unpacking the Cabinet




	CAUTION: Use three people to unpack the cabinet safely.

Hewlett-Packard recommends removing the cardboard shipping container before moving the cabinet into the computer room.




	NOTE: If unpacking the cabinet in the computer room, be sure to position it so that it can be moved into its final position easily. Notice that the front of the cabinet is the side with the label showing how to align the ramps.

To unpack the cabinet, perform the following steps:

Position the packaged cabinet so that a clear area about three times the length of the package (about 12 feet) is available in front of the unit, and at least 2 feet are available on the sides.
Figure 2-3 Front of Cabinet Container

Cut the plastic Polystraps bands around the shipping container.




	WARNING! Do not stand directly in front of the strapping while cutting it. Hold the band above the intended cut and wear protective glasses. These bands are under tension. When cut, they spring back and could cause serious eye injury.
