Chapter 13 Alternative Rack Mounting Preparing the Rack The rack nuts and slide mechanism must be connected to the rack before installing the HP NetServer LXr 8500 into the rack. A cardboard rack-mounting template comes with the HP NetServer. This template shows you where to mount the nuts on the rack. Attaching Rack Nuts to the Rack Use this section to attach the rack nuts to the front columns of the HP Systems rack. The rack nuts are used to hold the HP NetServer's slides in place and secure the front of the HP NetServer to the rack. CAUTION If other rack components are to be mounted in the rack below the HP NetServer, install those components before starting to mount the HP NetServer. NOTE Use the HP Rack Configuration Tools to determine where in the rack to mount the HP NetServer. 1. Find the rack-mounting template for the HP Systems rack. If the HP NetServer is still in its box, the template should be in the accessories tray sitting on top of the HP NetServer itself. 2. Hold the template alongside the outside face (the front) of one of the front rack columns. 3. Line up the bottom of the template with the lower line of space the HP NetServer will occupy. The template covers a span of 7 EIA units, which is the height requirement of the HP NetServer. 4. Slide the rack nuts onto the column where indicated by the template. 5. If you don't have the template, use the markings shown in Figure 13-2 for rack nut placement on the front columns. 152
