Unpacking and inspecting the server
This section describes pre installation procedures. Ensure that you have adequately prepared your
environment for installing 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
To verifying site preparation:
• Gather LAN information. The MAC addresses for the iLO 3 MP LAN and the system LAN are
located on the iLO Network Information Tag.
• Establish a method to connect to the server console.
• Verify electrical requirements. Ensure that grounding specifications and power requirements
are met.
• Validate server physical space requirements.
• Confirm environmental requirements.
For server-specific information on electrical, physical space, and environmental requirements, see
the site prep guide. For general site preparation information, see the HP Generalized Site
Preparation Guide on the HP website at:
http://www.hp.com/go/Integrity_Servers-docs.
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
1. Follow the instructions printed on the outside top flap of the carton to remove the banding and
the outer carton from the server pallet.
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 the equipment shipped from HP. Use this packing slip to verify
that all equipment has arrived.
NOTE: To identify each item by part number, see the sales order packing slip.
Returning damaged equipment
If the equipment is damaged, contact your HP customer service representative immediately. The
service representative initiates appropriate action through the transport carrier or the factory and
assists you in returning the equipment.
