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.
WARNING: This server is very heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the
equipment:
• Observe local occupational health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual
material handling.
• Get help to lift and stabilize the product during installation or removal, especially when the
product is not fastened to the rails. Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that a
minimum of two people are required for all rack server installations. A third person may be
required to help align the server if the server is installed higher than chest level.
• Use caution when installing the server in or removing the server from the rack; it is unstable
when not fastened to the rails.
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.
To install the server in a Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Compaq-branded, Telco, or a third-party rack:
Install the server and cable management arm option into the rack. See the documentation that ships
