13 Alternative Rack Mounting (4-Post)
Introduction
This chapter provides the instructions for mounting the HP Netserver in an older
4-post HP Systems rack, as shown in Figure 13-1. If you have the newer 4-post
HP System/E or System/U rack or a third-party non-threaded 4-post rack, see
Chapter 7, "Rack Mounting the HP Netserver (4-Post)." If you are mounting the
Netserver in a 2-post non-HP rack, see Chapter 8, "Rack Mounting the HP
Netserver (2-Post)," or refer to the documentation in the appropriate rack
accessory kit.
If you want to install the HP Netserver in a third-party rack not covered in this
guide, you may find relevant information on HP’s web site at the following URL:
