HP StorageWorks XP10000 Disk Array Site Preparation Guide (AE102-96014, March 2008)

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
• Scissors or box knife to cut polyester banding

Packaging configurations
Racks are shipped in one of three standard packaging configurations:
• Environmental pack — consists of stretch wrap over corner protectors. No special tools or
procedures are required to unpack shipments in this form. This packaging is used for most shipments
within the USA 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.
Unpacking process
If you need to unpack the equipment without HP supervision, follow the instructions in this section.
1. Following the steps in “Removing packaging materials” on page 47, unpack the equipment
cartons outside the computer room to avoid debris and possible contamination of the computer
environment.
2. For software CDs, cables, and other installation hardware, leave the sealed cartons or packages
intact. HP representatives will unpack them when they install and configure the disk array.
3. As you unpack the cartons, match the delivered items to the packing list (invoice) for each carton.
Contact your HP Service Representative immediately if any items are missing or are not the ones
you ordered.
4. Move all equipment to the computer room before the installation date.
Safety precautions
CAUTION:
Be very careful when handling the equipment. Do not drop the equipment from a height of more than 0.5
cm (0.2 in). Floor unevenness must be less than 1 cm (0.4 in).
WARNING!
The equipment frames are very heavy. To avoid injury, use appropriate lifting tools and have three people
unpack and move the equipment.
