Shipping Kit Inventory List
Standard components of the server are installed at the factory. However, if you
ordered options such as a PCI card and monitor, these are shipped to you separately.
Note – Inspect the shipping cartons for evidence of physical damage. If a shipping
carton appears damaged, request that the carrier’s agent be present when the carton
is opened. Keep all contents and packing material for the agent’s inspection.
