Installing the server into the rack

To install the server into a rack with square, round, or threaded holes, refer to the instructions that ship
with the rack hardware kit.
If you are installing the server into a telco rack, order the appropriate option kit at the RackSolutions.com
website (http://www.racksolutions.com/hp). Follow the server-specific instructions on the website to install
the rack brackets.
CAUTION: Always plan the rack installation so that the heaviest item is on the bottom of the rack. Install
the heaviest item first, and continue to populate the rack from the bottom to the top.
