Chapter 1
4. Remove shipping panels, if present, from inside the rack enclosure. Save
panels, screws, and rack nuts if you are going to reship the rack.
6. Unpack Remaining Components
Unpack each component in the order in which you assemble them (from the
bottom of the rack upward). Each package contains rack installation instructions
or a user guide.
NOTE If an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is included, plug it
in as soon as you unbox it. Doing so helps ensure batteries are
charged when rack installation is completed.
7. Build Basic Rack Assembly
Position, Tie Together, and Open Up the Rack
1. Determine how rack bays are to be positioned. If two or more racks are to
be tied together, use the optional tie-together kit. Otherwise, skip this step.
Newer models may be tied together before or after equipment is mounted
in them. Follow instructions included with tie-together hardware.
NOTE
Older racks (with the words "HP Systems" on the nameplate)
may require that enclosures to be tied together before any
components are mounted inside them. To avoid problems, if
older rack versions are to be tied together, do so before
installing slide members, rails, shelves, units, or other
hardware. Otherwise, you may have to remove components
from the rack to gain access to the tie-bolt locations.
2. If present, remove the front and rear doors to increase accessibility inside
the rack. Follow instructions shipped with the rack to do so.
NOTE Older racks (with the words "HP Systems" on the nameplate)
may also require door hardware to be in place before mounting
components. If you are using front or rear doors on older
models of the HP Systems Rack, be sure the hinge and latch
hardware is mounted before putting on any other hardware.
This prevents later disassembly.
