Preparing the Rack
Required Tools
You need the following tools to install your rack components:
•
Flat-bladed screwdriver
•
Phillips screwdrivers—#1, #2, and #3
•
Torx screwdrivers—T-10, T-15, T-25, and T-30
•
Adjustable wrench
•
Allen wrench
•
Cage nut fitting tool (included with the rack-mounting hardware kit)
For comfort and efficiency while setting up your rack and installing the components,
use battery-powered screwdrivers.
Checking the Hardware
After unpacking the rack and its components, locate the HP Rack Kit Components
List that was shipped with your rack. Be sure that you received all the listed
components.
IMPORTANT: You will typically have extra fasteners after completing your rack configuration
and component installation. Retain the extra fasteners for future use.
