The Used HP Servers Boxes Were Damaged
The used hp servers that were delivered today came in boxes that were all banged up. The company that we had bought them from had asked us if we would like to insure them and since we had never had anything delivered to us damaged before, we did not buy the insurance. I sure wish we had, since five of the six used proliant servers all had something wrong with them.
When I contacted a manager at the computer company, she was very nice but also informed me that once the used hp servers left their warehouse, they were not their concern anymore. I wanted to reach through the phone and smack her but that would not have done me much good. I called two local repair shops that fixed computers and explained the situation to them. They asked me what kind of servers that they were and I informed them that they were used proliant servers.
The guy was very nice and said that more than likely; the insides of the used hp servers were fine even if the outside had been dinged up a bit. He told me that we should try and install them first, before just assuming that they might now work.
