low-voltage power cords
To route and connect low-voltage power cords:
IMPORTANT: Route and connect the low-voltage power cord to the PDU after the server is
installed.
1. Connect the power cord to the server first and route it through the cable management
system with the other server cables.
2. Route the power cord inside the rear rack support to the PDU.
IMPORTANT: In Compaq branded 7000-series racks, route the power cables from the servers
to the PDUs through the gap in the rear of the rack rail.

installing the rack rails

The following procedure describes how to install the standard rack rails onto the rack. The rails
are designed to snap in place without screws or nuts.
1. Remove the server rails from the left and right standard rails.
2. Insert the rails into the rack holes.
3. Insert the server into the rack.
4. Install the cable management arm.
5. Cable and power up the server.
Repeat the procedure for any subsequent rack rails. For detailed instructions on installing
standard rack rails, refer to the HP ProLiant DL360 Generation 3 Server Setup and Installation
Guide and to the HP ProLiant DL360 Generation 3 Hardware Configuration and Installation
Poster.
CAUTION: Always install servers from the bottom of the rack to the top. Installing
servers in this manner provides more stability for the rack and reduces the risk of the rack
tipping over.
IMPORTANT: Before installing the rack rails for the standard rack rails and cable
management arm, remove the server rails from the slide rail assembly. See the "Server
Preparation" section in this document for more information.
IMPORTANT: Install a ProLiant DL360 Generation 3 server in every U-space from the bottom
to the top for maximum density.

installing a server in a rack

Install the 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.
