Installing hardware options

Install any hardware options before initializing the server. For options installation information, refer to the
option documentation. For server-specific information, refer to "Hardware options installation."

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.
WARNING:
This server is 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.
Procedure
1. Install the server and cable management arm into the rack. For more information, see the installation
instructions that ship with the selected rail system.
2. Connect peripheral devices to the server. For more information, see Rear panel components on page 14.
3. Connect the power cord to the rear of the server.
4. Use the hook-and-loop strap to secure the power cord.
