Completing the Installation HP recommends that customers execute these steps in order, especially when multiple racks are connected together or when a rack is populated in a separate room and relocated to its final position. However, Step 2 can be done any time before Step 5. server preparation This section briefly describes the server preparation. Refer to the HP ProLiant DL320 Generation 2 Setup and Installation Guide and accompanying documentation for details. The server comes with standard a fast deployment fixed rack rail kit designed for 29-in deep square-hole racks, like the Compaq branded racks. If the application does not require in-rack servicing, then the factory-equipped fixed-rails may be used for installation. The sliding rails and cable management solution option allows the server to be extended fully from the rack, and temporarily locked in place for servicing, without removing the cables from the server. It also provides better access to the rear cabling connections. The rails are designed for 29-in deep square-hole racks, like the Compaq branded racks. If customers choose to use the sliding rail and cable management solution option, then replace the factory-mounted fixed server rails with the optional sliding server rails on the server. Then install the optional cable tray to the rear of the server chassis per the instructions that come with the option. Prior to installing the server in a rack, install all the necessary optional components inside the server, such as the RILOE, and additional DIMMs. rack preparation Most of the discussions in this section will focus around Compaq branded 36, 42, and 47U racks. The rack selection criteria and recommendations are beyond the scope of this document. A bustle or an extension kit may be required if the installation will end up with several cables for all the servers, for example, KVM cables. For complete details on rack installation, refer to the set up and install guides for the respective rack models.
