Procedure 2: Unpack the Hub

Procedure 2: Unpack the Hub

1. Unpack and inspect the hub for damage that may have occurred during shipment.

2. Save the boxes and packing materials in case there is damage or anything needs to be

reshipped at a future date.

3. Verify that all items shown in Figure 7 are present. Contact an HP sales representative

if items are missing.

4. If the hub is to be used as a standalone unit, attach the four rubber feet to the bottom

corners of the hub. Optionally, remove the hub’s preinstalled mounting ear brackets and
nylon retainers. The brackets and retainers are used to mount the hub in a rack.
