bracket of the PDU, and through the face of the vertical column. Start
it in the nut. See Figure 2-6.
3. Insert a screw through the other mounting bracket of the PDU,
through the vertical column, and into a nut. Tighten both screws.
CAUTION Orient the star-washer on the hex nut toward the painted
surface of the rack. Ensure the screw and nut are tightened
sufficiently to cause the star washers to pierce the paint and
bring the lock washer teeth in contact with metal. This helps
ensure that the rack ground connection to the PDU is reliable.

Attach Data Cables

Plan Data Connections

Plan where data connections are to be made and locate cables to be used. There
are hook-and-loop cable straps and also colored pairs of cable ties and labels in
each server package. You can use the hook-and-loop cable ties to secure cables.
Attach data cables to the boards and ports of the server. Use the colored plastic
cable ties to identify both ends of the each cable.

Overview of Data Cabling the LPr

Figure 2-7, "Overview of Data Cabling of the HP NetServer LPr" shows a typical
set up you might do before running HP NetServer Navigator to configure your
server.
See the HP NetServer LPr Installation Guide for more information on setting up
the system.
CAUTION
Cables with thumb-screws should only be snug or finger-
tight. Excessive tightening could damage the mating
connector.
Figure 2-7 shows the connections of the mouse, video, and keyboard cables from
the devices through the HP Console Switch, to the server. Alternate cabling paths
for SCSI cables from the server to the mass storage units are also shown.
