Verify Site Preparation
Verifying site preparation is an essential factor of a successful server installation, and includes the following
tasks:
• Gather LAN information: Determine the two separate IP addresses for the integrated Lights Out
Management Processor (iLO MP) LAN and the server blade LAN
• Establish a method to connect to the server console. For more information on console connection methods,
see Chapter 5, “Configuring iLO MP Access,” on page 51
• Verify electrical requirements: Ensure that grounding specifications and power requirements are met
• Validate server physical space requirements
• Confirm environmental requirements
For more information on server electrical, physical space, and environmental requirements, see the HP
Integrity BL60p Server Blade Site Preparation Guide
Inspect 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.
Unpack the Server
The following procedure describes how to unpack a server blade.
Step 1. Use the instructions printed on the outside top flap of the carton.
Step 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.
Step 3. Place server on an antistatic pad.
