Rack Warnings - HPE ProLiant ML150 Gen9 User Manual

Rack warnings

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure that:
• The leveling jacks are extended to the floor.
• The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks.
• The stabilizing feet are attached to the rack if it is a single-rack installation.
• The racks are coupled together in multiple-rack installations.
• Only one component is extended at a time. A rack may become unstable if more than one
component is extended for any reason.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage when unloading a
rack:
• At least two people are needed to safely unload the rack from the pallet. An empty 42U rack
can weigh as much as 115 kg (253 lb), can stand more than 2.1 m (7 ft) tall, and might
become unstable when being moved on its casters.
• Never stand in front of the rack when it is rolling down the ramp from the pallet. Always
handle the rack from both sides.
WARNING: When installing a server in a telco rack, be sure that the rack frame is adequately
secured to the top and bottom of the building structure.

Installing the operating system
This ProLiant server does not ship with provisioning media. Everything needed to manage and install the
system software and firmware is preloaded on the server.
To operate properly, the server must have a supported operating system. Attempting to run an
unsupported operating system can cause serious and unpredictable results. For the latest information on
operating system support, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website
(http://www.hpe.com/info/supportos).
Failure to observe UEFI requirements for ProLiant Gen9 servers can result in errors installing the
operating system, failure to recognize boot media, and other boot failures. For more information on these
requirements, see the HPE UEFI Requirements on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website
(http://www.hpe.com/info/ProLiantUEFI/docs).
