Unpacking and Inspecting the Server

Chapter 1

23

Inspecting the Shipping Containers for Damage

HP shipping containers protect their contents under normal shipping conditions. After the equipment arrives, 
carefully inspect each carton for signs of shipping damage. Shipping damage constitutes moderate to severe 
damage, such as punctures in the corrugated carton, crushed boxes, or large dents. Normal wear or slight 
damage to the carton is not considered shipping damage. If you find shipping damage to the carton, contact 
your HP customer service representative immediately.

Unpacking the Server

To unpack a non-racked server, follow these steps.

NOTE

HP recommends the use of a lifter, such as a RonI Company model 17000 SP 400 lifting device, 
when moving a non-racked server.

Step 1.

Use the instructions printed on the outside top flap of the carton; remove the banding and the outer 
carton from the server pallet.

Step 2.

Remove all inner accessory cartons and the top foam cushions, leaving only the server.

IMPORTANT

Inspect each carton for shipping damage as you unpack the server.

Checking the Inventory

The sales order packing slip lists all of the equipment shipped from HP. Use this packing slip to verify that all 
of the equipment has arrived.

NOTE

To identify each item by part number, see the sales order packing slip.

Returning Damaged Equipment

If the equipment is damaged, contact your HP customer service representative immediately. The service 
representative initiates appropriate action through the transport carrier or the factory and assists you in 
returning the equipment.

Unloading the Server with a Lifter

WARNING

Use caution when using a lifter. Because of the weight of the server, you must center 
the server on the lifter forks before lifting it off the pallet to avoid injury.

To unload the server from the pallet using a lifter, follow these steps:

Step 1.

Unpack the server.

Step 2.

Unroll the bottom corrugated tray corresponding to the side on which the lifter will be placed, and 
slide the server as close to that edge of the pallet as possible.
