Unpacking and Inspecting the Server
This section describes procedures you perform before installation. Ensure that you have adequately
prepared your environment for the new server and received all the components you ordered. Verify
that the server and its containers are in good condition after shipment.
Verifying Site Preparation
Verifying site preparation is an essential part of a successful server installation. It includes the
following tasks:
• Gather LAN information. Determine the IP addresses for the iLO MP LAN and the system LAN.
• Determine a method to physically connect to the server console.
• Verify electrical requirements. Ensure that grounding specifications and power requirements
have been met.
• Validate server physical space requirements.
• Confirm environmental requirements.
For more information on server electrical, physical space, and environmental requirements, see
the HP Integrity rx6600 Site Preparation Guide.
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 a carton, contact your HP customer service representative immediately.
Unpacking the Server
To unpack a server, follow these steps:
1. Read the instructions printed on the outside top flap of the carton; 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 the equipment has arrived.
NOTE: To identify each item by part number, refer to the sales order packing slip.
