representative to review the inspection checklist and arrange an installation schedule.

NOTE Not all installations follow a schedule like the one noted above. Sometimes, an hp Integrity
rx4640 server is purchased through another vendor, which can preclude a rigid schedule. Other
conditions could also prevent following this schedule. For those situations, consider a milestone
schedule.
• Site Preparation—schedule with the customer as soon as possible after the order is placed.
• Site Verification—schedule with the customer a minimum of one to two days before the hp
Integrity rx4640 server is scheduled to be installed.
