Server Overview

The HP 9000 rp3410 server is a 1-way or 2-way, rack- or tower-mount server. Similarly, the HP 9000 rp3440
server is a 1-way, 2-way or 4-way, rack- or tower-mount server. Both of these servers are based on the
PA-RISC processor family architecture. The HP server accommodates up to 12 DIMMs and internal
peripherals including disks and DVD-ROM. Its high availability features include hot-swap power supplies
and hot-plug disk drives. The supported operating system is HP-UX 11i v1 (and newer HP-UX versions that
support PA-RISC systems).

Server Overview and Unpacking

Unpacking the Server

Chapter 1

13

Unpacking the Server

HP shipping containers protect their contents under normal shipping conditions. After the equipment arrives,
carefully inspect each carton for signs of shipping damage. A tilt indicator is installed on each carton shipped.
The beads in the indicator will roll to the upper position if the container has been tilted to an angle that could
cause equipment damage. The tilt indicator itself will have two windows and each window under normal
conditions will show four beads present. If a carton has been mishandled, accidentally dropped, or knocked
against something, the tilt indicator will indicate missing beads. If damage is found, document the damage
with photographs and contact the transport carrier immediately.

If the equipment has any damage, you must obtain a damage claim form from the shipping representative.
You must complete the form and return it to the shipping representative.

Unpacking a Non-Racked Server

NOTE HP recommends the use of a lifter, such as a RonI Company model 17000 SP 400 lifting device,

when moving a non-racked system.

Unloading with a Lifter

To unload the server from the pallet using a lifter, perform the following steps:

WAR NING Use caution when using a lifter. Because of the weight of the HP 9000 rp3410 or HP

9000 rp3440 server, the server must be centered on the lifter forks before raising it
off the pallet to avoid injury.

Step 1. Follow the instructions on the outside of the server packaging to remove the banding and carton top

from the server pallet.

Step 2. Remove all cartons from the pallet, leaving only the server.

Step 3. Lower the cardboard from the side on which the lifter will be inserted and slide the server as close

as possible to the edge of the pallet.

Step 4. Break off any foam packaging which could prevent the lifter from being fully inserted under the

server. Do not remove the foam packaging from the corners of the system. This foam is required to
elevate the system and allow the forks of the lifter to be placed under the server.

Step 5. Insert the lifter forks under the server.

Step 6. Carefully roll the lift forward until it is fully positioned against the side of the server.

Step 7. Slowly raise the server off the pallet until it clears the pallet cushions.

Step 8. Carefully roll the lifter and server away from the pallet. Do not raise the server any higher than

necessary when moving it over to the rack.
