2-14 Compaq ProLiant 6400R Setup and Installation Guide Attaching the Rack Mounting Bracket Assembly to the Rack WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, ensure that the rack leveling feet are extended to the floor and support the full weight of the rack. Each rack must be level and stable. Racks not coupled together require the installation of stabilizers before you perform any work on the rack. See the Rack Video Training CD for more information on leveling feet and stabilizers. Marking the Rack with the Template The template provided with the server offers an easy, reliable way to properly position the server in the rack. Use the tabs on the template to suspend it from the lower hole of a two-hole set of perforations in the vertical side rails. Pencil mark the attachment points for the rack mounting bracket assemblies, cage nuts for the faceplate thumb screws and top of the server. Use the tick marks on the rack side rails to ensure the level installation of the server. See the illustrations and instructions printed on the template. IMPORTANT: Determine the place for the server in the rack before installing the mounting bracket assemblies. For proper placement of the server in the rack, refer to the Rack Builder report you printed when you planned the configuration. Always mount the heaviest item on the bottom of the rack, and work from the bottom up. 1. Starting at the bottom of the rack or at the top of a previously mounted component, measure the screw hole locations for the mounting bracket assemblies of the server. Pencil mark the locations on the outside of the rack on both the front and the back. IMPORTANT: The template is two sided (front and back) and printed with arrows that show you where the screws are inserted, both for the mounting bracket assemblies and for the thumb screws that secure the server's face plate to the front of the rack. Align the template carefully with the holes on the rack to determine the exact placement of the screws. 2. When you mark the position of the mounting bracket screws, also mark the position in the front of the rack for the cage nuts. These are two slots marked C on the template. The cage nuts will hold the thumbscrews through the server faceplate. 3. Follow the alignment instructions on the template, and keep the sides of the template squared with the sides of the rack. Tick marks on the rack vertical rails help you maintain the proper alignment.

Compaq ProLiant 6400R Setup and Installation Guide
Attaching the Rack Mounting Bracket Assembly
to the Rack
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment,
ensure that the rack leveling feet are extended to the floor and support the full
weight of the rack. Each rack must be level and stable. Racks not coupled
together require the installation of stabilizers
before
you perform any work on
the rack. See the Rack Video Training CD for more information on leveling feet
and stabilizers.
Marking the Rack with the Template
The template provided with the server offers an easy, reliable way to properly
position the server in the rack. Use the tabs on the template to suspend it from
the
lower
hole of a two-hole set of perforations in the vertical side rails. Pencil
mark the attachment points for the rack mounting bracket assemblies, cage
nuts for the faceplate thumb screws and top of the server. Use the tick marks
on the rack side rails to ensure the level installation of the server. See the
illustrations and instructions printed on the template.
IMPORTANT:
Determine the place for the server in the rack
before
installing the
mounting bracket assemblies. For proper placement of the server in the rack, refer to the
Rack Builder report you printed when you planned the configuration. Always mount the
heaviest item on the bottom of the rack, and work from the bottom up.
1.
Starting at the bottom of the rack or at the top of a previously mounted
component, measure the screw hole locations for the mounting bracket
assemblies of the server. Pencil mark the locations on the outside of the
rack on both the front and the back.
IMPORTANT:
The template is two
sided (front and back) and printed with arrows that
show you where the screws are inserted, both for the mounting bracket assemblies and
for the thumb screws that secure the server's face plate to the front of the rack.
Align the template carefully with the holes on the rack to determine the exact placement
of the screws.
2.
When you mark the position of the mounting bracket screws, also mark
the position in the front of the rack for the cage nuts. These are two slots
marked C on the template. The cage nuts will hold the thumbscrews
through the server faceplate.
3.
Follow the alignment instructions on the template, and keep the sides of
the template squared with the sides of the rack. Tick marks on the rack
vertical rails help you maintain the proper alignment.
