Installing the chassis Installation overview To set up and install the chassis: 1. Unpack the system ("Unpacking the system" on page 15). 2. Determine the chassis rack spacing ("Determining the chassis rack spacing" on page 15). 3. Install the rack rails ("Installing the rack rails" on page 15). 4. Install the chassis in the rack ("Installing the chassis in the rack" on page 15). 5. Install the system components ("Installing the system components" on page 17). 6.
WARNING: The chassis is very heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, do the following: • Observe local occupational health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual material handling. • Get help to lift and stabilize the product during installation or removal, especially when the product is not fastened to the rails. The chassis weighs more than 25.85 kg (57.00 lb), so at least four people must lift the chassis into the rack together.
1. Install the chassis into the rack. 2. Secure the chassis to the rack. Installing the system components If components were removed during the chassis installation or additional components were ordered, install each device using the procedures in this section. If you perform any of the procedures in this section after powering on the chassis, ensure proper airflow by ensuring that each bay inside the chassis and at the rear of the chassis is populated with either a component or a blank.
CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the chassis unless all bays are populated with a component or a blank. Install the component as indicated. Installing a server CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the chassis unless all bays are populated with a component or a blank. To install the component: 1. Prepare the server for installation.
2. Install the server. When seated properly, the server will be flush with the front of the chassis and the release lever will close completely without resistance. Installing an I/O module Install the component as indicated.
Installing the fans Install the component as indicated. Installing a power cage CAUTION: To prevent damage to the component, power down the chassis and disconnect all power cords before removing or installing the component. To install the component: 1. Remove the power cage cover.
2. Install the power cables in the power cage. 3. Install the power cage cover. 4. Install the power cage. a. Insert the power cage into the correct power cage bay. b. Close the release lever.
c. Tighten the screw to secure the power cage to the chassis. Installing the management module IMPORTANT: Always complete the installation of both power cages before installing the management module. Install the component as indicated. Installing the power shelf CAUTION: To prevent damage to the component, power down the chassis and disconnect all power cords before removing or installing the component.
1. Install the power shelf rack rails into the rack. For more information, see the HP Apollo 6000 Power Shelf Rack Rail in HP Racks Installation Instructions. 2. Install the power shelf. 3. Secure the power shelf to the rack.

8. Install the power supply vent cover to protect the power supply vents.
Cabling Cabling overview WARNING: Be sure that all circuit breakers are locked in the off position before connecting any power components. CAUTION: To avoid damaging the fiber cables, do not drape cables from one side of the rack to the other and do not run cables over a hard corner or edge. CAUTION: To avoid damaging the cable, squeeze the thermal boot on the cable before disconnecting from the connector. After the hardware is installed, complete the following cabling procedures: 1.
• Connecting three chassis to one power shelf Cabling 28
• Connecting four chassis to one power shelf Cabling 29
• Connecting six chassis to one power shelf Cable quantity and length are determined by the configuration of components. For more information, see the HP Power Advisor (http://www.hp.com/go/hppoweradvisor). Example configurations Configuration examples can be calculated using the HP Power Advisor Tool (http://www.hp.com/go/hppoweradvisor). This tool is designed for facilities planning purposes only. Values obtained from the tool are based on worst case loads.
Connecting the optional HP APM module 1. Connect the HP APM to the network (green cables). 2. Connect the HP APM to the chassis (red cables). 3. Connect the HP APM to the power shelf (blue cable).
Connecting power cables and applying power to the chassis 1. Connect the DC power cable to the power shelf. 2. Connect the AC power cables to the power source (UPS or wall outlet) or to an installed PDU.
Configuring the system Power capping The HP ProLiant XL family of products provides a power capping feature that operates at the server enclosure level. The capping feature can be activated with PPIC.EXE, a stand-alone utility that runs in the environment of one of the resident servers in the chassis to be power capped. After a power cap is set for the enclosure, all the resident servers in the enclosure will have the same uniform power cap applied to them until the cap is either modified or canceled.
PPIC is a standalone utility that runs on a single server within the enclosure. For more information, see the HP ProLiant Power Interface Control (PPIC) Utility User Guide on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support/PPIC_UG_en). • HP Advanced Power Manager HP APM is a rack level device that can control power caps for all enclosures in the rack. For more information, see the HP Advanced Power Manager User Guide on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support/APM_UG_en).
If NONE is specified instead of a cap wattage value, then HP APM removes all (or the specified zone) of the power caps. To remove baseline data from the EEPROM and to remove the power cap setting, enter the following command: >SET POWER BASELINE NONE After this command is issued, the only way to re-establish a power baseline is to issue the SET POWER BASELINE command. The system returns to the default power cap mode (mode 1).
