CAUTION Units are heavy, often weighing between 85 and 180 lb. (50

and 110 kg). Do not attempt to move or install such units

without help. Also, remove power supplies and hard disk

drives to minimize the amount of weight to be lifted.

Compare the order documents to the packing list or to a list of boxes received.

Check to see that all parts are present. Unpack the HP NetServer and external

storage and tape backup units (if any were ordered).

NOTE Save the boxes and packaging materials if you intend to reship

the units and rack.
