Setting Up the hp Integrity Superdome or hp 9000 Superdome
After a site has been prepared, the system has been unpacked, and components have been inspected, the 
system can now be prepared for booting.
Moving the System and Related Equipment to the Installation Site 
Carefully move the cabinet(s) and its related equipment to the installation site but not into its final location. 
If the system is to be placed at the end of a row, side bezels must be added before positioning the cabinet in its 
final location. Check the path from where the system was unpacked to its final destination to make sure the 
way is clear and free of obstructions. If the cabinet must be moved up ramps, be sure to maneuver it using 
three people.
Unpacking and Installing the Blower Housings and Blowers
There are two blower housings and four blowers for each cabinet. Although similar in size, the blower 
housings for each cabinet are not the same; one has a connector to which the other attaches. Use the following 
procedure to unpack and install the housings and blowers:
Step 1. Unpack the housings from the cardboard box and set them aside. 
The rear housing is labeled Blower 3 Blower 2. The front housing is labeled Blower 0 Blower 1.
CAUTION Do not lift the housing by the stiffener.
