Procedures
This chapter describes unpacking and repackaging your HP rack for shipment, and common procedures
such as positioning racks, installing accessories, and reversing the rear door.
Receiving
This section contains information pertaining to unpacking, inspection, and reshipment.
If the rack package is damaged upon receipt, request that the carrier’s agent be present when the protec-
tive covering is removed. Inspect the rack for damage (scratches, dents, bent pieces, etc.). If the rack is
damaged, notify the carrier and the nearest Hewlett-Packard Sales and Service office immediately.
CAUTION
Do not lift an unpackaged rack with a fork lift
Unpacking, Handling and Moving
After unloading the rack at the shipping dock, check the order documents to the packing or shipping list to
see all parts arrived in good condition. Most likely you will move it on its pallet to its uncrating point.
Ensure clear passage from the receiving site to the uncrating site. The shipping dimensions and weights
are given below. Casters come attached, so the rack can be rolled when uncrated, to its next destination.

When you are ready to uncrate and roll your rack, and anytime in the future when moving your rack,
please observe these safety precautions:
Observe floor loading requirements (especially raised floors) and ensure adequate space before moving
your HP rack, and all safety items while moving. At maximum gross weight the floor must be able to
support 677-kg/ sq cm (2000 lb./sq in).
Use the following procedure to remove the rack from the shipping base. One person can perform this
procedure. The sequence of steps is shown on the following pages.
WARNING
Wear protective glasses while cutting the plastic bands around the shipping container.
These bands are under tension. When cut, they can spring back and cause serious eye injury.
