Rack planning resources The rack resource kit ships with all HP branded or Compaq branded 9000, 10000, and H9 series racks. For more information on the content of each resource, see the rack resource kit documentation. If you intend to deploy and configure multiple servers in a single rack, see the white paper on high-density deployment at the HP website: http://www.hp.com/products/servers/platforms. Rack warnings WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure that: • The leveling jacks are extended to the floor. • The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks. • The stabilizing feet are attached to the rack if it is a single-rack installation. • The racks are coupled together in multiplerack installations. • Only one component is extended at a time. A rack may become unstable if more than one component is extended for any reason. WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage when unloading a rack: • At least two people are needed to safely unload the rack from the pallet. An empty 42U rack can weigh as much as 115 kg (253 lb), can stand more than 2.1 m (7 ft) tall, and may become unstable when being moved on its casters. • Never stand in front of the rack when it is rolling down the ramp from the pallet. Always handle the rack from both sides.

For complete information on installing hard drives and options, see the user guide. Installing enclosure into a rack NOTE: When installing servers, HP recommends installing all enclosures at the bottom of the rack. To optimize cabling access, avoid interleaving the enclosure and server products. 1. Secure the front end of the rails to the rack. IMPORTANT: Do not remove the pins from the ends of the rack rails unless you are converting the rails for use in round-hole racks. These load-bearing pins are designed to fit through the holes without being removed. IMPORTANT: Be sure that the scissor-type locking latches engage the rack fully when the pins extend through the holes marked with the template. NOTE: Identify the left (L) and right (R) rack rails by markings stamped into the sheet metal. 2. Secure the back end of the rails to the rack. 3. Slide the chassis into the rack. 4. Use the thumbscrews on the front of the chassis to secure it to the rack.
