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, received the components that you ordered, and
verified that the server and its containers are in good condition after shipment. This section
addresses the following topics:
• “Verifying Site Preparation” (page 19)
• “Inspecting the Shipping Containers for Damage” (page 19)
• “Unpacking the Server” (page 19)
• “Checking the Inventory” (page 20)
• “Returning Damaged Equipment” (page 20)
• “Unloading the Server with a Lifter” (page 20)
Verifying Site Preparation
Verifying site preparation is an essential factor of a successful server installation and includes
the following tasks.
1. Gather LAN information and determine the two separate IP addresses for the iLO MP LAN
and the system LAN.
2. Establish a method to connect to the server console.
3. Verify electrical requirements and ensure that grounding specifications and power
requirements have been met.
4. Validate server physical space requirements.
5. Confirm environmental requirements.
For more information on server electrical, physical space, and environmental requirements, see
the HP Integrity cx2620 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 the carton, contact your HP customer service
representative immediately.
Unpacking the Server
To unpack a non racked server, follow these steps.
1. Use 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.
