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. 11
