The HPE Technical Remanufacturing Checklist for products, that are as good as new
Incoming Product Inspection
1 Products must pass a cosmetic inspection based on strict HPE Factory Standards.
If the parts do not meet the following requirements they are replaced with original HPE new parts:
- On visible front-facing surfaces (Class 1), light scratches must measure less than 6 cm, deep scratches must measure less than 2 mm
- Any areas of blemishes, abrasions or water spots must measure less than 1.5 cm
- Any dents on panels
- Any rusts spots
2 System Power up and configuration checks performed
3 Validation of parts against Bill of Materials
4 Components inspections, such as memory and hard disks must bear manufacturer’s seals of authenticity. Otherwise they are rejected and scrapped for recycling.
5 All cables and accessories are scrapped for recycling and replaced by new ones
6 Perform Engineering Change Notification checks to latest new product factory specifications
Reconditioning
7 Perform disassembly down to sub-assembly level; parts such as fans, power supplies, major cages and I/O panels are cleaned
8 Intensive cleaning of all sub-assembly parts and racks
9 Removal of labels and regeneration of new product labels
10 Minor touch up of external surfaces may occur if needed
Assembly & Software Installations
11 Product component assembly and system integration
12 Storage drives reformatted and retested to ensure data integrity. Every drive is wiped clean of any data and every disk is separately overwritten
