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 nonHP 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.

The following are additional instructions for installing the server into the rack:

1. The cable management arm (CMA) is factory-configured to mount on the left side of the server (as viewed

from the rear of the chassis). You must switch the CMA from a left- to a right-mount configuration. Mount

the CMA on the right side of the server to ensure easy removal of the power supplies.

2. You must remove two T120 screws from the server bezel; one screw from the same location on each side of

the server. The screws are located behind the pull handles.

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.
