Rack Installation Overview

Before you install the HP NetServer in a rack assembly, install any optional
hardware in the HP NetServer. You can configure the HP NetServer before or
after you install it in the rack. Before you start, read the rack installation kit
instructions.
In general the steps to prepare for mounting the HP NetServer in a rack assembly
are as follow:
Remove the rack from the shipping carton and assemble the rack
enclosure(s).
Tie together any multiple rack enclosures.
Plan the order of installation for all units in the rack enclosure.
Install the power distribution unit or units (PDU), the optional fan, ballast,
and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) (if you have any of these options)
in the rack enclosure.
Install all units in the rack enclosure that are below the level of the HP
NetServer LC 3.
Install the base assembly that will hold the HP NetServer LC 3, as
described in the rack installation kit instructions. Instructions for one rack
type are included in this chapter
Ensure that the anti-tip foot of the rack enclosure is extended.
Remove the front bezel and all covers from the HP NetServer LC 3. If the HP
NetServer is mounted on an anti-tip pedestal, remove it as shown below.
CAUTION
Do not operate the HP NetServer LC 3 with its covers
removed. Doing so interrupts the cooling air flow and may
cause overtemperature problems.
Once mounted in the rack, all covers are to be replaced.
