Compaq ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 Server High-Density Deployment in Compaq Racks

Compaq Confidential - Need to Know Required

14UH-0701A-WWEN

Installing a Server in a Rack

Install ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 servers in the rack from the bottom to the top. Tighten the

thumbscrews on the front of each server to secure the server to the rack. Attach the cable

management arm to the rear of the server and to the rear of the rack.

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, fire, or damage to the

equipment:

•

Extend the leveling jacks to the floor and rest the full weight of the rack on the

leveling jacks.

•

Either install the stabilizer kit or couple multiple racks together for stability.

•

Load the heaviest item first and load the rack from the bottom to the top. Loading the

rack in this manner makes the rack “bottom-heavy” and helps prevent the rack from

becoming unstable.

•

Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack.

•

Extend only one ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 server at a time. A rack may become

unstable if more than one ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 server is fully extended for

any reason.
