Delivery and Unpacking

Unpacking the equipment
HP representatives will supervise the unpacking and moving of the disk
array equipment. It is your responsibility to provide the people, tools, and
equipment necessary to perform these tasks.
Packaging configurations
XP disk array cabinets are shipped in one of three standard packaging
configurations:
• Environmental pack — consists of stretch wrap over comer protectors.
No special tools or procedures are required to unpack shipments in this
form. This packaging is used for most shipments within the USA and
Canada that are direct from the factory to the customer. HP uses
special carriers with a dedicated fleet of trucks and specially trained
personnel.
• Full packaging — consists of a pallet, wooden loading ramp, inner
packaging, and outer corrugated carton assembly.
• Full packaging with wooden crate — consists of full packaging
encased in a wooden crate.
Required personnel
HP recommends that three physically able personnel be available to assist
with off-loading the disk array equipment from the pallet. Personnel must
be knowledgeable and experienced with the safe handling of large, heavy,
and sensitive computer equipment.
Required tools
• Claw hammer (if full packaging with wooden crate)
• Ratchet wrench or box-open end wrench sizes 11mm (7/16") and
19mm (3/4"), or adjustable end wrench
• 6mm hex wrench
