WARNING: When installing a server in a telco rack, be sure that the rack frame is adequately secured at the top and

Identifying the contents of the server shipping carton
Unpack the server shipping carton and locate the materials and documentation necessary for installing the server. All the
rack mounting hardware necessary for installing the server into the rack is included with the rack or the server.
The contents of the server shipping carton include:
•
Server
•
Power cord
•
Hardware documentation and software products
•
Rack-mounting hardware and documentation
In addition to the supplied items, you might need:
•
Operating system or application software
•
Hardware options
•
Screwdriver
Installing hardware options
Install any hardware options before initializing the server. For options installation information, refer to the option
documentation. For server-specific information, refer to "Hardware options installation."
Installing the server into the rack
To install the server into a rack with square, round, or threaded holes, refer to the instructions that ship with the rack
hardware kit.
WARNING: This server 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.
•
Get help to lift and stabilize the product during installation or removal, especially when the product is not
fastened to the rails. Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that a minimum of two people are required for all
rack server installations. A third person may be required to help align the server if the server is installed higher
than chest level.
•
Use caution when installing the server in or removing the server from the rack; it is unstable when not fastened
to the rails.
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.
