Installing The Chassis In The Rack - HPE Apollo k6000 User Manual

Installing the chassis in the rack

WARNING: The chassis 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.
• Use a hydraulic lift to remove the chassisfrom the rack.
• Disconnect all cabling and remove all servers from the chassis before installing or moving the
chassis.
• Use caution and get help to lift and stabilize the product during installation or removal, especially
when the product is not fastened to the rails. The chassis weighs more than 113.39 kg ( 250.00 lb),
and is back heavy, so at least four people must lift the chassis into the rack together. An additional
person might be required to help align the chassis if the chassis is installed higher than chest level.
WARNING: To avoid risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, do not stack anything on top of
rail-mounted equipment or use it as a work surface when extended from the rack.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure that:
• The rack is bolted to the floor using the concrete anchor kit.
• The leveling feet extend to the floor.
• The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling feet.
• The racks are coupled together in multiple rack installations.
• Only one component is extended at a time. If more than one component is extended, a rack might
become unstable.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage, be sure that the rack is
adequately stabilized before installing the chassis.
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.
CAUTION: Be sure to keep the product parallel to the floor when installing the chassis. Tilting the
product up or down could result in damage to the slides.
CAUTION: Hewlett Packard Enterprise has not tested or validated this chassis with any third-party
racks. Before installing the chassis in a third-party rack, be sure to properly scope the limitations of the
rack. Before proceeding with the installation, consider the following:
• You must fully understand the static and dynamic load carrying capacity of the rack and be sure that
it can accommodate the weight of the chassis.
• Be sure sufficient clearance exists for cabling, installation and removal of the chassis, and actuation
of the rack doors.
