Installation

Unpacking the Server Expansion Unit

HP shipping containers are designed to 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 roll to the upper position if the container has been tilted to an

angle that could cause equipment damage. The tilt indicator itself has two windows and each window, under

normal conditions, shows 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 Expansion Unit 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 Expansion Unit may come already racked or ready for rack installation.
