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 Update the firmware on
page 96.
Procedure
1. If installed, remove the appliance module blank from the appliance bay.
