HP Warranty. Observe the precautions listed in this section to maintain the HP NetServer's reliability. When the HP NetServer LXr 8000 or 8500 is installed in a Compaq rack enclosure, certain requirements must be addressed to assure that the needs of the HP NetServer are met.
Chapter 1 Introduction Tools The following tools are required to install the HP NetServer in a Compaq rack: ® T15 Torx driver Small thin flat-bladed screwdriver Pozidriv or Phillips screwdriver Needle-nose pliers may also be helpful. Terms Terms used in this document are defined in the table below.
The existing LCD cover (metal housing around the LCD) on the front of the HP NetServer is too thick to accommodate the front bezel to be used in the Compaq rack. This chapter describes how to prepare the HP NetServer for the Compaq rack-optimized front bezel. The instructions in this chapter are summarized in the list below.
Chapter 2 Preparing the HP NetServer Disconnect the HP NetServer WARNING Before removing the covers, always disconnect the power cord and unplug telephone cables. Disconnect the power cord to avoid exposure to high energy levels that may cause burns when parts are short-circuited by metal objects, such as tools or jewelry.
Preparing the HP NetServer Extend the HP NetServer If the HP NetServer is already installed in a Compaq rack (without a front bezel), do the following to extend the HP NetServer: 1. Remove the four screws that secure the HP NetServer to the rack columns, as shown in Figure 2-1.
