Unpack the Stand-Alone Server
Note -
This task describes how to unpack the stand-alone SPARC M8-8 and SPARC M7-8
servers. If your server was factory installed in an Oracle rack, see
Unpack the Server and the rack's printed
Unpacking Guide for unpacking instructions.
Note -
Remove the shipping container in a conditioned space away from the final
installation site to reduce airborne particles entering the data center.
-
Prepare an unpacking area large enough to remove the shipping container and
access the unpacked server using a mechanical lift.
The unpacking area must be at least 4 ft (122 cm) by 8 ft (244 cm). See Rackmounted Server Unpacking Area for more
information.

Using shears, or a similar tool, cut and remove the banding securing the outer
packaging from the shipping pallet.

the accessory tray containing the rackmount kit and power cords.
-
Lift the accessory tray out of the shipping pallet and place it in a safe
location.
-
Remove the Styrofoam corners and the top cushions.
-
Lift the outer packaging up and off of the pallet.
-
Remove the cardboard end caps, bottom Styrofoam cushions, and the plastic bag
covering from the server.

pallet.

Continue the installation by raising the server on a mechanical lift.
