- HP 10000 G2 Series Rack Options Installation Guide

About this guide 8
• Keyboard—The rack keyboard requires installation of a 1U keyboard drawer rack option kit.
• Monitor—The monitor requires installation of a monitor/utility shelf rack option kit unless you are using
a rack-mountable flat-panel monitor.
• Server console switch—If a console switch is configured, use the CPU-to-console switch cable included
with the server. The standard distance between the console switch and the keyboard, monitor, and
mouse can vary by 3-, 7-, 12-, 20-, and 40-ft lengths.
NOTE: National electrical regulations governing the installation of building wiring require that
an appropriate cable, meeting fire-safety standards, must be used any time cabling is routed:
• Through an overhead drop-ceiling
• Under raised flooring
• From room to room
• From floor to floor
Be sure that the cable jacket or sleeving is made of material that does not burn easily and does not
exude toxic fumes when exposed to heat. Be sure that the cable you have selected is appropriate
for your installation site. If you require a U.S. plenum-rated (CL2P) cable, contact your local HP
authorized reseller to obtain any of the following options:
• 149363-B21-20-foot plenum cable
• 149364-B21-40-foot plenum cable
• Rack baying option kits—The number of baying kits needed to join a series of racks is one less than the
number of racks in the suite. Each baying kit supplies parts to bay two cabinets on 600 mm (24 in)
center line spacing.
• Side panels—Only one set of side panels is required for each row of bayed racks.
• Stabilizer kit—A stabilizer kit is either required or recommended, depending on your rack
configuration. There are four stabilizer kit options.
o The standard 600-mm (23.6 in) or 800-mm (31.5 in) front foot is required with deployments of
stand-alone racks. Rack rows with four or more bayed racks, without a single rack-mountable
component exceeding 99.8 kg (220 lb), do not need a stabilizer kit installed.
o The heavy duty 600-mm (23.6 in) or 800-mm (31.5 in) front foot is required when a single
rack-mountable component weighing 99.8 kg (220 lb) or more is installed in a stand-alone rack or
in a rack belonging to a rack row of three or fewer bayed racks.
