HP Integrity rx8620 Server User Service Guide
2 Installation
Inspect shipping containers when the equipment arrives at the site. Check equipment after the
packing has been removed. This chapter discusses how to inspect and receive the HP Integrity
rx8620 Server.
Inspecting the Server Cabinet
NOTE: The server ships in one of three different configurations. The configurations are as
follows:
• On a pallet installed in a server cabinet
• On a pallet for rack mount into an existing cabinet on the customer site
• On a pallet with a wheel kit for installation as a standalone server
HP shipping containers are designed to protect their contents under normal shipping conditions.
After the equipment arrives at the customer site, 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 has two windows, and each window under normal conditions shows four
beads. If a carton has been mishandled, accidentally dropped, or knocked against something,
beads would be missing from the tilt indicator. If damage is found, document the damage with
photographs and contact the transport carrier immediately.
Examine the server 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 factory provides an installation warranty that is effective from the time the customer
receives the shipment until Field Services turns the system over to the customer.
Upon inspection of a received system and during installation of the system, if any parts or
accessories are missing or defective, they will be replaced directly from the factory by a priority
process. To request replacement parts, the HP Installation Specialist must contact the local Order
Fulfillment group which will coordinate the replacement with the factory.
Receiving the Server Cabinet
This section contains information about unpacking the server cabinet.
WARNING! Wear protective glasses while cutting the plastic bands around the shipping
container. These bands are under tension. When cut, they can spring back and cause serious eye
injury.
NOTE: Position the pallet, allowing for enough space to roll the cabinet off the pallet before
starting.
To remove the server cabinet from the shipping container, follow these steps:
1. Cut the polystrap bands around the shipping container.
2. Lift the cardboard top cap from the shipping box.
