Unpacking the Server

Hewlett-Packard shipping containers protect their contents under normal shipping conditions. After the equipment arrives, carefully inspect each carton for signs of shipping damage. A tilt indicator is installed on each carton shipped. The beads in the indicator will roll to the upper position if the container has been tilted to an angle that could cause equipment damage. The tilt indicator itself will have two windows and each window under normal conditions will show four beads present. If a carton has been mishandled, accidentally dropped, or knocked against something, the tilt indicator will indicate missing beads. If damage is found, document the damage with photographs and contact the transport carrier immediately.

Examine the server cabinet for visible shipping damage. After unpacking the cabinet, check for damage that may have been obscured by the shipping container. If damage is found after visual inspection, document the damage with photographs and contact the transport carrier immediately.

If the equipment has any damage, a damage claim form must be obtained by the customer from the shipping representative. The customer should complete the form and return it to the shipping representative.

	NOTE: The server may come already racked or ready for rack installation.

Unpacking a Racked Server

This section contains information pertaining to unpacking the hp Integrity rx5670 cabinet.

	WARNING! Wear protective glasses while cutting the polystrap bands around the shipping container. These bands are under tension. When cut, they can spring back and cause serious eye injury.

	NOTE: Position the pallet to allow for enough space to roll the cabinet off the pallet before starting.

To remove the server cabinet, perform the following steps:

1. Cut the polystrap bands around the shipping container.

2. Lift the cardboard top cap from the shipping box.

   Figure 1-7  Removing the Polystraps and Cardboard

3. Remove the corrugated wrap from the pallet.

4. Remove the packing materials.

   	CAUTION: The plastic wrapping material should be cut off rather than pulled off. Pulling the plastic covering off represents an ESD hazard.

5. Remove the bolts holding down the ramps and remove the ramps.

6. Remove the six bolts from the base attaching the rack to the pallet.

   Figure 1-8  Preparing to Roll Off the Pallet

   	WARNING! Use caution when rolling the cabinet off the ramp. Make sure the leveling feet on the rack are raised before you roll the rack down the ramp and any time you roll the rack on the casters. A single server in the cabinet weighs approximately 425 pounds. It is strongly recommended that two people roll the cabinet off the pallet.

Securing the Cabinet

Once in position, secure and stabilize the cabinet using the leveling feet at the corners of the base and install the anti-tip mechanisms on the bottom front and rear of the rack.

Unpacking a Non-Racked Server

	NOTE: HP recommends the use of a lifter, such as a RonI Company model 17000 SP 400 lifting device, when moving a non-racked system.

Unloading with a Lifter

To unload the server from the pallet using a lifter, perform the following steps:

	WARNING! Use caution when using a lifter. An hp Integrity rx5670 may weigh up to 175 pounds. Because of the weight of the server, it must be centered on the lifter forks before raising it off the pallet to avoid injury.

1. Follow the instructions on the outside of the server packaging to remove the banding and carton top from the server pallet.

2. Remove all cartons from the pallet, leaving only the server.

3. Lower the cardboard from the side on which the lifter will be inserted and slide the server as close as possible to the edge of the pallet.

4. Break off any foam packaging which could prevent the lifter from being fully inserted under the server. Do not remove the foam packaging from the corners of the system. This foam is required to elevate the system and allow the forks of the lifter to be placed under the server.

5. Insert the lifter forks under the server.

6. Carefully roll the lift forward until it is fully positioned against the side of the server.

7. Slowly raise the server off the pallet until it clears the pallet cushions.

8. Carefully roll the lifter and server away from the pallet. Do not raise the server any higher than necessary when moving it over to the rack.

Installing the Server into a Rack

HP Rack

Any hp Integrity rx5670 that is to be installed into a rack is shipped with equipment slides. With every set of slides comes an installation guide: hp Integrity rx5670 rack installation guide. Follow the steps in this installation guide to determine where and how to place the server into the rack.

Non-HP Rack

There is a guide for evaluating the installation of HP equipment in non-HP racks. This document should be utilized when there is a need to evaluate and qualify whether any HP equipment can be installed, maintained, and serviced in a non-HP rack. The guide is located on the Web at:

Once there, select “mounting information” from the menu on the left side, then select the guide titled Mounting in Non-HP Racks.
