XC3000 Cluster Quad Bracket Kit Installation Guide

1 Overview
This rack kit consists of a four-slot (quad) bracket that is designed to mount to the
columns of the HP Model 10642 rack. This is the standard high-density rack model
used for the XC-series cluster. The quad bracket can accept up to four 1U server
systems. Each server requires a mounting slide that inserts into a track in the
quad bracket. No tools are required to install the quad bracket or the slides.
2 Audience
HP service representatives and other persons trained to install hardware
mounting options and system components in the rack. Such persons are expected
to understand the hazards of working in this environment and to take suitable
precautions to minimize danger to themselves and others.
