Installing the Server into a Rack or Tower

Install the Server into a Rack

The following information describes how to install the server into an HP rack, or an approved non-HP rack.

HP Rack

HP Integrity entry-class servers that are installed into racks are shipped with equipment mounting slides.

With each set of slides comes an installation guide: Installation Guide, Mid-Weight Slide Kit, 5065-7291.

Follow the steps in this installation guide to determine where and how to place the server into the rack.

Non-HP Rack

There is a guide for evaluating the installation of HP equipment in non-HP racks. Use this document when

you need to qualify whether you can install, maintain, and service any HP equipment in a non-HP rack.

The guide is located on the Web at http://www.hp.com/racksolutions.

Once there, select “Mounting information” from the menu, then select the guide titled Mounting in non-HP

racks.

Install the Server into a Tower Mount

Your server ships with a tower mount if you order the rackless configuration option. The tower mount is

packaged in a separate carton that is attached to the server carton.

If you want to change your server from a rack mount to a rackless configuration, you need a Server Rackless

Mount Kit. Your rackless mount kit comes with an installation guide: Converting Your Rack Server to a

Rackless Mount. Follow the steps in this installation guide to attach the tower mount to your server.
