Installing the server Safety information Follow the instructions carefully to prevent injury and equipment damage when performing removal and replacement procedures. Voltage might be present within the server. Many assemblies are sensitive to damage by ESD. Follow the safety considerations listed to ensure safe handling of components, to prevent injury, and to prevent damage to the server: •...
Rack installation HPE rack HPE servers that are installed into racks are shipped with equipment-mounting slides. The HPE 2U Quick Deploy Rail System Installation Instructions for HPE Products ships with each set of slides. Follow the steps in this installation guide to determine where and how to install the server into the rack.
Procedure 1. Slightly pull the rail lock away from the rail to unlock the rail. See Removing the rails from the server 2. Slide the rail toward the front of the server to disengage the rail from the posts on the server. 3.

To attach the components. 1. Align the holes in the pedestal component with the posts on the server. See Installing the pedestal bottom piece. NOTE: One of the holes in the pedestal component contains the locking mechanism. This makes the hole appear partially blocked.
The ventilation holes in the pedestal kit right side piece must be matched up with the ventilation holes on the top cover of the Integrity rx2800 i6 Server to enable proper cooling and air flow. Failure to heed this warning causes the server to shut down with an overtemp condition.

Figure 6: Thumb screw locations Repeat these steps to install the left side piece. Attaching the pedestal feet The pedestal feet slide into the slots on the pedestal bottom, two on each side. The feet are all the same and can be mounted in any slot on the bottom piece of the pedestal kit. Attaching the pedestal feet...
Figure 7: Attaching the feet Connecting server cables AC input power The server can receive AC input from two different AC power sources. The power receptacles are located at the rear of the server. A maximum of two power supplies can be installed in the server. Installing two power supplies in the server provides 1+1 redundancy, meaning that if one power supply fails, there is still enough power supplied to the server to operate.
4. Plug the other end of the power cord into an AC outlet. Connecting to the LAN The server has four LAN ports that provide network connectivity. The HPE Integrity rx2800 i6 Server User Service Guide shows the available LAN ports for the server.
Table 2: Setup checklist Step Action Procedure Status Standard setup Preparation 1. Determine an access method to select and connect the cables. 2. Determine a LAN configuration method and assign an IP address if necessary. Configure the iLO 3 MP Select one of the three methods to configure the LAN for iLO 3 MP access: •...
• Bypass loading from I/O slots. • Bypass loading from I/O slots and core I/O. The Bypass loading from I/O slots and core I/O option may be useful if a bad core I/O UEFI driver is preventing system boot. USB drives can still be used at the UEFI shell to update core I/O drivers. CAUTION: Pressing Ctrl-C before the prompt does not work and might disable this feature.
