Mount Each Unit in the Rack Enclosure
1.
Position each unit following the original layout used to order the server.
Follow the instructions which accompany each component. If you do not
have the original layout, you can use HP rack configuration tools, available
at HP’s web site, to regenerate it.
2.
Rack-optimized HP NetServers and mass storage units have instructions in
their user or installation guides for mounting the units in the rack
enclosure. For other servers and storage units, rack mounting instructions
are included with optional rack-mount kits, if available. See the user or
installation guide or rack-mount kit instruction sheet which accompanies
your unit for details.
CAUTION
To prevent rack tip-over, extend or bolt on the anti-tip foot
before installing units on sliding members. Also prevent rack
tip-over by extending only one piece of equipment at a time
from the front or rear of the rack.
3.
You may already have installed the UPS, Redundant Switch, and Power
Distribution Units. Do so now if you have not. Begin at the bottom of the
rack, installing the rack mount kit for the first component just above the
power components. Configuration information and examples are available
in Chapter 2 and 3.
NOTE
For both safety and accessibility, always start assembly at the
bottom of the rack and work upward.
4.
Be sure to locate and place rack nuts along the front outside face of the
vertical column before placing each component on its rails or base. The
pre-positioning of rack nuts allows the front of the component to be
secured to the front of the rack. (Some units use threaded inserts or bar
nuts, and require no rack nuts to secure the unit to the rack.)
5.
Mount each unit on its accompanying rails, brackets, or slides.
CAUTION
A tip-over hazard exists. Servers are heavy and may be
awkward to position on their mounting rails. Therefore,
always minimize the weight to be lifted into the rack by
removing power supplies and hard disk drives.
