as shown below:
Examples of cabinets are Chatsworth (CPI) Megaframe, Wrightline Paramount, Rittal Vario, Vero IMRAK,
SMC, Zero Express Rack and Bud Industries S2000. For further information, refer to the table titled, Third

Third Party Rack Checklist for rp24xx Server Installations
This document is a guide to insure safe and reliable installation and operation of rp24xx servers in third
party EIA-style racks and applies to installations at the end-customer site only.
Footprint
The rp24xx server is 25 inches deep. Additional space for cable management is required in the rear. HP
recommends 40 inches in front and 24 inches in the rear for service access and proper safety in proximity to
energized electronic equipment.
Safety Checklist
To insure the installation is safe, the following items must be addressed:
Anti-tip safety The rp24xx server slides out of the rack about 24 inches for service. When extended this far,
there can be a major tip hazard for the rack. If the rack has anti-tip feet front and rear,
attach them prior to installing the server. If anti-tip feet are not available, ensure that the
rack is solidly bolted to the floor both front and rear. Ensure that the thick sheet metal of
the rack base provides for a bolt-down bracket.
Rack slides When servicing the HP rp24xx server, it is critical to use properly attached rack slides,
which will allow the detents to stop the sliding motion of the unit. Always work on the
server when it is fully extended and locked in place to avoid injury to maintenance
personnel.
Warranty Checklist
The following factors must be considered to insure that HP's warranty is valid in third party rack
configurations.
