Introduction
Inspecting the Shipment
1 Introduction
The HP 9000/D2xx and D3xx Class of servers can be mounted into a cabinet to consolidate
the pieces of the core system. The cabinet is available in a 1.1 meter (44.3 inches) size
(A1896A) and a 1.6 meter (63.8 inches) size (A1897A). Both cabinets have a usable depth of
.905 meter (35.6 inches). The cabinets have mounting columns to receive equipment with
EIA standard 19 inch mounting flanges.
Inspecting the Shipment
When the shipment arrives, make sure the cabinet has been received as specified by the
carrier's bill of lading. Inspect the shipping container for evidence of mishandling during
transit. If the container is damaged or water-stained, ask that the carrier's agent be
present when the cabinet is unpacked. Refer to the instructions described in the Claims
Procedure section. If everything appears to be in satisfactory condition, proceed with the
unpacking instructions.
NOTE Do not discard or destroy the shipping container or the packaging material. If
it becomes necessary to repackage the cabinet, these items will be needed. HP
also suggests that you keep this manual, in case you later have to repackage
the cabinet for shipment.
Claims Procedure
If the shipment is incomplete or if the equipment is damaged or fails to meet specifications,
notify the nearest Hewlett-Packard Sales and Support Office. If damage occurred in
transit, notify the carrier as well. Hewlett-Packard will arrange for replacement or repair
without waiting for settlement of claims against the carrier. If the shipment was damaged
in transit, keep the shipping containers and packaging material for inspection.

Cabinet Configurations
Cabinet Configurations
Although the cabinets are designed to accommodate a variety of components mounted in
just about any configuration, there are some basic rules that apply to mounting a computer
system. These rules allow for weight distribution, accessibility of the components, and
cable management inside the rack-mount cabinet. Figure 1-1shows some example
configurations.

Site Requirements
2 Site Requirements
This chapter describes the site requirements for the installation of an HP A1896A or HP
A1897A cabinet. There is no HP site preparation required for the rack-mount cabinets.
There are some customer site preparation requirements. The customer is responsible for
having the proper type and amount of electrical outlets at the cabinet site. The customer
must also be aware of any system site requirements that the computer in the cabinet may
have. Be sure to check all site requirements before installing any equipment. Refer to
Table 2-1 for the cabinet physical specifications, and Table 2-2 for the cabinet electrical
requirements. T able 2-1 shows the types of receptacles that are needed to match the power
cords for specific cabinet power configurations.
NOTE There are no special environmental site requirements for the HP A1896A or
HP A1897A cabinets, or the computer systems contained in them.

Unpacking and Installation
3 Unpacking and Installation
This chapter describes how to unpack the A1896A or A1897A cabinet assembly. Both
cabinets are shipped on a pallet. The instructions for unpacking are the same for both the
A1896A and A1897A cabinet.
It is the customer's responsibility to inspect the shipping package for shipping damage.
It is the Hewlett-Packard Customer Engineer’s responsibility to remove the cabinet
assembly from the shipping pallet.
NOTE Do not discard or destroy the shipping container or the packaging material. If
it becomes necessary to repackage the cabinet, these items will be needed. HP
also suggests that you keep this manual, in case you later have to repackage
the cabinet for shipment.

Unpacking the Cabinet Assembly
All cabinet types are packaged the same way. Be sure to read the unpacking instructions
before proceeding.
WARNING A fully configured 1.6 meter cabinet (A1897A) can weigh up to
approximately 362.8 kg (800 lbs). Be very careful when unpacking the
cabinet.
To unpack an A series cabinet, perform the following steps:
1. Cut the plastic polystrap bands around the shipping container.
