Preparing the Rack

The outer-rail assemblies have spring assemblies that must be removed after
shipment and the columns must be marked before mounting the outer-rail
assemblies. Once the outer-rails are correctly mounted, then the HP Netserver LP
1000r can be installed into the rack. A template is not provided because the
Netserver is exactly one EIA unit high and can only fit into one EIA unit, but not
across two EIA units.
NOTE
The HP Netserver weighs 32 lbs. (14.5 kg.) fully loaded. It is
not necessary to use two people when placing the Netserver
into the rack, but it may be helpful.

HP Netserver Rack Mount Parts List

Ensure the rack-mounting kit provided with the HP Netserver contains the
following parts:
Table 13-1. Parts for Rack Mount Kit
Quantity
2 Outer-rail assembly
Removing Spring Assemblies
The outer-rail assemblies are shipped with spring assemblies used on the newer
HP System/E or System/U racks, but not used on the older HP System racks. The
spring assemblies (coiled wire and flat spring) must be removed, before mounting
the outer rails. The coiled spring assemblies on the outer-rails are compressed for
shipping and held in place with two 10-mm nuts. These nuts must be removed
along with the coiled spring to remove the rear spring assemblies, but two of the
nuts must be kept to secure the rails to the rear columns of the rack. See Figure
13-2.
1. Turn both nuts on each rail counterclockwise (CCW) to release the rear
spring assembly and remove the nuts. See Figure 13-2.
Keep one nut from each outer rail to attach the rear of the outer rail to the
rear column.
