have not been tested.) For information about setting up the rack, including

with the rack. Updated rack information can be downloaded from the
HP website http://www.hp.com/products/racks.

Rack installation
HP recommends installing all storage enclosures at the bottom of a rack.
To optimize cabling access, avoid interleaving enclosure and server
products.
Step 1: Install cage nuts on the rack
NOTE:
Markings shown are provided for illustration purposes only;
your device may be installed in a different location.
Front uprights
IMPORTANT:
Placement of the middle cage nut is different on the right and
left side on the front of the rack.
Rear uprights
Step 2: Assemble rails
1. Slide the rear rails into the front rails.
2. Align the first, third, and fifth holes in the rear rail bracket with the
slots of the front bracket. Loosely install three 8-32 x 3/8 Phillips
flat-head screws in each rail set. They will be tightened after rails
are installed.
