HP BladeSystem c3000 Tower Enclosure Quick Setup Instructions
— When installing a fan in the right column of fan bays,
orient the fan so the LED is in the lower left corner.
WARNING: A risk of electric shock from high leakage
current exists. Before connecting the AC supply to the
power enclosures, be sure that the electrical outlets are
properly grounded (earthed).
The area where the enclosure is installed should be
designated as a restricted access area, and the enclosure
is intended to be used with a dedicated uninterruptible
power supply (UPS) that uses an industrial style wall plug
to insure a reliable protective earth ground connection.
Each power supply in the enclosure can also be plugged
directly into a low-line wall outlet. Be sure there is enough
total amperage available in the wall outlets of your facility
to handle all power supplies installed in the enclosure. To
determine the total amperage draw of your HP
BladeSystem c3000 Tower Enclosure configuration, see
the HP power calculator
(http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystem/powercalculator
).
Only trained service personnel must perform installation
and maintenance.
2. Slide the power supply into the power supply bay until the
device locks into place.
o When installing a power supply in power supply bay 1, 2,
or 3, orient the power supply so the plug is positioned
toward the bottom.
o When installing a power supply in power supply bay 4, 5,
or 6, orient the power supply so the plug is positioned
toward the top. See "Power supply bay numbering (on
page 3)."
