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 9000 rp8420 server. Inspecting the Server Cabinet NOTE: The server will ship in one of three different configurations. The configurations are: • 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 stand-alone 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 will roll to the upper position if the container has been tilted to an angle that could cause equipment damage. The tilt indicator itself will have two windows and each window under normal conditions will show four beads present. If a carton has been mishandled, accidentally dropped, or knocked against something, the tilt indicator will indicate missing beads. 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. Remove the server cabinet using the following steps: 1. Cut the polystrap bands around the shipping container. 2. Lift the cardboard top cap from the shipping box. Inspecting the Server Cabinet 37
