Unpacking and Inspecting the Server
This section describes procedures you perform before installation. Ensure that you have adequately
prepared your environment for the new server, received the components that you ordered, and
verified that the server and its containers are in good condition after shipment.
This section addresses the following topics:
• “Verifying Site Preparation” (page 43)
• “Inspecting the Shipping Containers for Damage” (page 44)
• “Unpacking the Server” (page 44)
• “Checking the Inventory” (page 44)
• “Returning Damaged Equipment” (page 44)
• “Unloading the Server With a Lifter” (page 44)
Verifying Site Preparation
Verifying site preparation is an essential factor of a successful server installation, and includes
the following tasks:
• Gather LAN information. The IP addresses for the iLO 2 MP LAN and the system LAN are
located on the right side of the server near the bezel, above the rack mounting rail.
• Establish a method to connect to the server console.
• Verify electrical requirements. Ensure that grounding specifications and power requirements
are met.
• Validate server physical space requirements.
• Confirm environmental requirements.
For server-specific information on electrical, physical space, and environmental requirements,
see Chapter 2 (page 36). For general site preparation information, see the HP Generalized Site
Preparation Guide on the HP website at http://docs.hp.com.
