Stacked Server Site Requirements Stacked Server Site Requirements rp24xx servers can be configured to operate as a stand-alone server, in a free-standing stack of a maximum of six servers high, or racked in a cabinet. This section provides site requirements for stacked server installation. NOTE HP will not support stacking of any other A-Class server. CAUTION In order to remain within weight limitations and to prevent tipping, do not stack servers more than six high. Each server weighs approximately 23 kg (50 lbs). DO NOT lift more than one server at a time. Always use the strap when stacking servers, regardless of the number. Hewlett-Packard will not support or warrant servers that are damaged as a result of being improperly strapped or stacked more than six servers high. Server Dimensions The physical characteristics of the rp24xx server are listed as follows: Dimension Height Width Depth Weight 9.52 cm 48.26 cm 63.5 cm 22.68 kg (3.75 in.) (19 in.) (25 in.) (50 lbs) WARNING DO NOT attempt to lift the server by the front bezel. The plastic bezel is attached by pressing it onto four ball-tipped posts located on the front of the server cover and pulls off with very little pressure. The bezel WILL NOT support the 23 kg (50 lb.) weight of the server. Failure to observe this precaution will cause damage to the server and may cause personal injury. CAUTION DO NOT stack heavy objects, such as monitors, on top of the server. The weight may cause the top to cave in and damage internal components. Chapter 67

Stacked Server Site Requirements
rp24xx servers can be configured to operate as a stand-alone server, in a free-standing stack of a maximum of
six servers high, or racked in a cabinet. This section provides site requirements for stacked server
installation.
NOTE
HP will not support stacking of any other A-Class server.
CAUTION
In order to remain within weight limitations and to prevent tipping, do not stack servers more
than six high. Each server weighs approximately 23 kg (50 lbs). DO NOT lift more than one
server at a time.
Always use the strap when stacking servers, regardless of the number. Hewlett-Packard will
not support or warrant servers that are damaged as a result of being improperly strapped or
stacked more than six servers high.
Server Dimensions
The physical characteristics of the rp24xx server are listed as follows:
WARNING
DO NOT attempt to lift the server by the front bezel.
The plastic bezel is attached by
pressing it onto four ball-tipped posts located on the front of the server cover and
pulls off with very little pressure.
The bezel WILL NOT support the 23 kg (50 lb.) weight of the server.
Failure to observe this precaution will cause damage to the server and may cause
personal injury.
CAUTION
DO NOT stack heavy objects, such as monitors, on top of the server.
The weight may cause the
top to cave in and damage internal components.
