3 Installation This section contains detailed instructions for installing an HP NetServer LH 3r in certain models of Compaq rack enclosures. Preparation Before beginning the installation of the NetServer into the rack, you must prepare the rack and the NetServer. Determine the location at which the NetServer is to be installed in the rack enclosure. Mark the bottom and top of this location on the rack columns. The HP NetServer LH 3r measures 8 EIA units tall.

Marking Holes for Installation You will mark two holes on each of the front columns to use for the rack nuts where the two recessed mounting brackets attach to the columns. When the installation is complete, these brackets secure the NetServer in the rack enclosure. To mark the bracket mounting holes (refer to Figure 3-1): 1.
Chapter 3 Installation Installing the Bar Nuts, Screws, and Rack Nuts Once you have marked the appropriate holes, install the bar nuts and screws on the columns: 1. Position one bar nut behind holes 20 and 22 (previously marked). 2. Insert the two screws, with flat washers, through the two holes and start them into the bar nut (see Figure 3-2). Do not tighten these screws, yet. 3. Repeat for all columns. Rack Column Bar Nut Washers Screws Figure 3-2.
Chapter 3 Installation Mounting the Slides 1. Orient each slide so that the front of the slide attaches to the front column and the rear attaches to the rear column. This ensures that once installed, the slides will extend correctly, toward the front of the rack (see Figure 3-3). NOTE The slides do not come apart; they are one piece. Rear Flange Front Flange Extendible Members Figure 3-3. Slide Components and Orientation 2.

WARNING To prevent the rack from tipping over, be sure that the stabilizing, anti-tip feature is installed on this rack enclosure (see Figure 1-2). 2.
Chapter 3 Installation 3. Using two people, lift the NetServer using the handles on each side. Move the NetServer in between the extended slide members and position it so that the handles are resting on the slide members (see Figure 3-5 and Figure 3-6). Figure 3-5. Lifting the Server Onto the Slide Members 4. Line up the mounting holes in the slide members with the holes in the NetServer chassis, insert the three screws on each side, and tighten them (see Figure 3-6).
