Stand-Alone A-Class Server Unpack and Install Instructions

follow this precaution may result in personal injury or damage to components.

Step 2. Carefully open the carton, remove the contents, and set them on the work surface.

Each carton will contain:

The server.

An accessory kit.

A packet containing installation instructions and regulatory information.

NOTE

Report any missing items to your local Hewlett-Packard office immediately. If there
is obvious freight damage, contact your shipper immediately.

We recommend that you retain all packing materials in case any of the items
received require return to Hewlett-Packard.

Unpack the Server

CAUTION

Do not set the server on its side, or in any position other than upright on its rubber
“feet,” for operation. Failure to observe this precaution may result in component
damage or loss of system reliability.

Carefully unwrap the server and set it upright on the work surface.

Open the Accessory Kit

Open the Accessory Kit and verify that the contents agree with the packing list.

NOTE

Plastic Front Anchor Bracket end caps are included in each kit. Do not discard them.
They will be needed if the server is installed in a cabinet.
