Unpacking the Server
Hewlett-Packard 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.
Examine the server cabinet for visible shipping damage. After unpacking the cabinet, check for damage that
may have been obscured by the shipping container. If damage is found after visual inspection, document the
damage with photographs and contact the transport carrier immediately.
If the equipment has any damage, a damage claim form must be obtained by the customer from the shipping
representative. The customer should complete the form and return it to the shipping representative.
NOTE The server may come already racked or ready for rack installation.
Unpacking a Racked Server
This section contains information pertaining to unpacking the hp server rx5670 cabinet.
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.
NOTE Position the pallet to allow for enough space to roll the cabinet off the pallet before starting.
To remove the hp server rx5670 cabinet, perform the following steps:
1. Cut the polystrap bands around the shipping container.

2. Lift the cardboard top cap from the shipping box.
Figure 1-7 Removing the Polystraps and Cardboard
3. Remove the corrugated wrap from the pallet.
4. Remove the packing materials.
CAUTION The plastic wrapping material should be cut off rather than pulled off. Pulling the plastic
covering off represents an ESD hazard.
5. Remove the bolts holding down the ramps and remove the ramps.

6. Remove the six bolts from the base attaching the rack to the pallet.
Figure 1-8 Preparing to Roll Off the Pallet
WARNING Use caution when rolling the cabinet off the ramp. Make sure the leveling feet on
the rack are raised before you roll the rack down the ramp and any time you roll
the rack on the casters. A single server in the cabinet weighs approximately 425
pounds. It is strongly recommended that two people roll the cabinet off the
pallet.

Securing the Cabinet
Once in position, secure and stabilize the cabinet using the leveling feet at the corners of the base and install
the anti-tip mechanisms on the bottom front and rear of the rack.
Figure 1-9 Securing the Cabinet
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:
WARNING Use caution when using a lifter. An hp server rx5670 may weigh up to 175 pounds.
Because of the weight of the hp server rx5670, it must be centered on the lifter forks
before raising it off the pallet to avoid injury.
1. Follow the instructions on the outside of the server packaging to remove the banding and carton top from
the server pallet.
2. Remove all cartons from the pallet, leaving only the server.
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.
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.

5. Insert the lifter forks under the server.
6. Carefully roll the lift forward until it is fully positioned against the side of the server.
7. Slowly raise the server off the pallet until it clears the pallet cushions.
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.
Installing the Server into a Rack
Any hp server rx5670 that is to be installed into a rack is shipped with equipment slides. With every set of
slides comes an installation guide: hp server rx5670 rack installation guide. Follow the steps in this
installation guide to determine where and how to place the server into the rack.

Installing Power Supplies and Internal Disk Drives
This section provides information about installing HotSwap Power Supplies and internal HotPlug Disk
Drives. HotSwap Power Supplies and internal HotPlug Disk Drives are located behind the Front Bezel.
CAUTION A HotPlug device may require interaction with the operating system before the device can be
safely installed into the server. Verify that the operating system supports installing disk drives
while the operating system is running. If the operating system does not support this feature,
shut down the operating system before attempting this procedure. Failure to observe this
caution will result in system failure.
NOTE A HotSwap device does not require interaction with the operating system before the device is
removed from or installed into the server.
The AC power to the server does not have to be off to install a HotSwap Power Supply.
Opening the Front Bezel
The Front Bezel is hinged on the left (facing the front of the server). The server does not have to be turned off
to open or to completely remove the Front Bezel.
Opening the Front Bezel provides access to the following components:
• HotPlug Disks (up to four).
• Removable Media (DVD ROM drive, etc.).
• HotSwap Chassis Fan cover.
• HotSwap Chassis Fan 0.
• HotSwap Power Supplies (up to three).
To open the Front Bezel, perform the following step:

1. Grasp the handle located at the right edge of the Front Bezel and pull out. The Front Bezel will swing
away from the chassis.

Installing HotSwap Power Supplies
Power Supply Load Order
There is no specific load order requirement for HotSwap Power Supplies. However, the supported
configuration of an hp server rx5670 requires a minimum of two supplies be installed. A third, optional
HotSwap Power Supply, may be installed to provide N+1 capability.
The right side HotSwap Power Supply is identified as P0, the center HotSwap Power Supply is identified as
P1, and the left HotSwap Power Supply is identified as P2. Each HotSwap Power Supply requires a separate
power cord be installed in the appropriate power cord receptacle located at the rear of the chassis.
Installing a HotSwap Power Supply
To install a HotSwap Power Supply, perform the following steps:
WARNING Be careful when installing a HotSwap Power Supply. It is heavier than it appears.

CAUTION Install the HotSwap Power Supply before attaching the new power cord at the rear of the
system if the system is powered down. Failure to observe this caution will result in damage to
the server.
