Arrange for the system to be moved to the location where it is to be installed.
■
Unpack the computer and peripherals.
HP performs the following tasks:
■
Supervise uncrating, positioning, and racking of the HP products.
■
Inventory the shipment against the packing list(s).
Inspection Precautions
Observe the following precautions:
■
When the shipment arrives, check each container against the carrier's Bill of Lading.
Inspect the exterior of each container immediately for mishandling or damage during
transit. If any of the containers are damaged, request the carrier's agent be present
when the container is opened. Follow the damage claim procedure given later in this
guide.
■
When unpacking the container(s), inspect each item for external damage. Look for
broken controls and connectors, dented corners, scratches, bent panels, and loose
components. Check the rigid foam and plastic cushioning for damage which indicate
rough handling during transit.
NOTE
HP recommends keeping the shipping container or the packaging
material. If it becomes necessary to repackage the cabinet, the original
packing material will be needed. HP also suggests that you keep this
manual, in case you later have to repackage the cabinet for shipment.
If you decide to discard the shipping container or packaging material,
please dispose of them in an environmentally responsible manner
(recycle if possible).
