3 Installation

This section contains detailed instructions for installing an HP NetServer
LXr 8000 in certain models of Compaq rack enclosures.

Preparation

Before beginning the installation of the NetServer into the rack, you must prepare
the rack and the NetServer.
Determine the location at which the NetServer is to be installed in the rack
enclosure. Mark the bottom and top of this location on the rack columns. The
HP NetServer LXr 8000 measures 7 EIA units tall.

Marking the Installation Holes

First, mark two holes on each of the four columns to use for the rack nuts and
screws that hold the slide to the column.
When marking the holes, mark the outer surface of the column (see Figure 3-1); on
the front columns, this is the column surface facing forward; on the rear columns,
this is the surface facing rearward. Use tape or a marker pen to mark the
appropriate holes on each column.
A rack template which is marked with the appropriate holes is provided with this
NetServer. You may use this rack template to show you where to mark the holes
on the rack columns, or if you do not use the template, you can simply mark the
appropriate holes as indicated in Figure 3-1. (Two templates are provided with this
NetServer; use the one marked "Rack System/E and Rack System/U".)
To mark the slide mounting holes (refer to Figure 3-1):
1. On the front columns, count up from the top of the unit below, marking the
4th and 6th holes.
2. On the rear columns, count up from the top of the unit below, marking the
4th and 6th holes.
