Planning the Installation Blade Enclosure The ProLiant BL e-Class blade enclosure ships with the following: ■ Two redundant hot-plug power supplies and power cords ■ Four redundant hot-plug fans ■ Blade PC blanks ■ ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack for ProLiant BL Servers ■ Rack-mounting hardware for HP, Compaq branded, and third-party racks ■ Null-modem cable Ä CAUTION: Always install either a Blade PC or a Blade PC blank in each Blade PC bay to maintain proper airflow and cooling. Improper airflow can lead to thermal damage. Ä CAUTION: Do not remove a power supply without a replacement ready to install. A failed power supply must remain in the system for proper airflow to prevent overheating while the system is operating. Rack-Mounting Hardware The following figure and table show the standard rack-mounting hardware (for HP, Compaq branded, and third-party racks) that ships with the ProLiant BL e-Class blade enclosure. Ä CAUTION: Do not ship the blade PCs and enclosure while inside the rack without first installing the e-Class Enclosure Shipping Bracket (part number PH555A). Failure to use the shipping bracket may cause damage to the blade PC and/or enclosure, thereby voiding the warranty. Refer to the documentation in the option kit for more information. IMPORTANT: All of the rack-mounting hardware necessary for installing the ProLiant BL e-Class blade enclosure into an HP, Compaq branded, or third-party rack is included with your enclosure. For Telco racks, a separate option kit with Telco rack-mounting hardware is available. 3-6 www.hp.com Setup and Installation Guide
