Component Installation; Installing An Appliance Module - HPE Synergy 12000 Frame Setup And Installation Manual

7. Repeat the procedure for the remaining frames.
NOTE: Up to four 10U frames can be installed in a 42U rack. If you are installing more than one frame,
install the first frame in the bottom of the rack, and then install additional frames by moving up the rack
with each subsequent frame. Plan rack installation carefully because it is difficult to change the
location of components after they are installed.

Component installation

The following sections contain installation instructions for the individual frame components. The images
included in these instructions are intended to illustrate how the components are installed. These images
are not intended to indicate the location for installation. Install the component in the bay from which it was
removed earlier in this document.
There is no specific installation order requirement for the frame components, however Hewlett Packard
Enterprise recommends installing all front components first, followed by all rear components.
All components must be installed and cabled before you power up the frame.
The frame and components automatically power on when power is connected.

Installing an appliance module

The appliance modules have specific population guidelines based on the appliance module and the
system configuration. As a best practice, if two appliance modules of the same type exist in any group of
linked frames, install the appliance modules in separate frames.
After all components are installed and cabled, be sure to reimage the appliance module before bringing
the appliance module into your HPE Synergy configuration. Updating the firmware, ensures that the
appliance module is compatible with the HPE Synergy Software Release installed on HPE Synergy. For
more information, see Firmware.
Procedure
1. If installed, remove the appliance module blank from the appliance bay.
