◦ Cabling servers in a rack ◦ Coupling multiple racks • The Rack Products Documentation CD enables you to view, search, and print documentation for HP and Compaq branded racks and rack options. It also helps you set up and optimize a rack in a manner that best fits your environment. Rack Requirements HP supports the HP System E racks and the HP 10000 Series racks for use with VLS systems. Other racks might also be suitable, but have not been tested with the VLS. Rack Warnings WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, before installing equipment be sure that: • The leveling jacks are extended to the floor. • The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks. • The stabilizing feet are attached to the rack if it is a single-rack installation. • The racks are coupled together in multiple-rack installations. • Only one component is extended at a time. A rack may become unstable if more than one component is extended for any reason. WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage when unloading a rack: • At least two people are needed to safely unload a rack from a pallet. An empty 42U rack can weigh as much as 115 kg (253 lb), can stand more than 2.1 m (7 ft) tall, and may become unstable when being moved on its casters. • Never stand in front of a rack when it is rolling down the ramp from the pallet. Always handle a rack from both sides. Identifying the VLS Shipping Carton Contents Unpack the VLS shipping cartons and locate the materials and documentation necessary for installing the VLS.
