2 Rack Mounting the HP NetServer Introduction This chapter explains how to mount the HP NetServer in an HP System/E or System/U rack. The illustration below shows the characteristics of the System/E and System/U racks. If you have the older HP Systems rack, see the HP NetServer LC 2000 Installation Guide for instructions. (If you are mounting the NetServer in a non-HP rack, refer to the separate rack-mounting guide for third-party racks.
Chapter 2 NOTE Rack Mounting the HP NetServer If you want to put your NetServer into a third-party rack not mentioned in the guide, you may be able to find relevant documentation on HP’s web site at the following URL: http://www.hp.com/netserver/support The HP NetServer rack mount kit requires five EIA units of space in the rack. Before mounting the NetServer, plan the NetServer’s location in the rack relative to other rack components. Proper placement is vital both for safety and operating efficiency.
Chapter 2 Rack Mounting the HP NetServer Safety Precautions Always keep the following safety and environmental issues in mind, especially if you install the HP NetServer in a non-HP rack environment: l Optimum Operating Environment – The optimum operating conditions for the HP NetServer is in an environmental controlled computer room with a temperature range of 20 to 22°C (68 to 72°F) at 40 to 60% relative humidity.
Chapter 2 Rack Mounting the HP NetServer Preparing the Rack The column adapters and rack nuts must be connected to the rack before mounting the slide mechanism. Once the slides are correctly mounted, then the HP NetServer LC 2000r can be installed into the rack. A cardboard rack mounting template comes with the HP NetServer. The template identifies the column adapter and rack nut locations on the rack.
Chapter 2 Rack Mounting the HP NetServer 1. Find the rack-mounting template. If your HP NetServer is still in its box, the template should be in the accessories tray that sits on top of the NetServer itself. 2. Hold the template alongside the outside face (front) of the left front rack columns. 3. Line up the bottom of the template with the lower line of the NetServer’s location in the rack. The template covers a span of 5 EIA units, which is the height requirement of the HP NetServer. 4.
Chapter 2 Rack Mounting the HP NetServer 5. Turn the template over and use it to mount rack nuts (at 7th and 9th holes) on the left-rear and right-rear rack columns. See Figure 2-3. Figure 2-3. Placing Rack Nuts on Rack Columns The template provides you with the nut placement locations. If you don’t have the template, Figure 2-4 shows rack nut placement for the two rear rack columns. # Left Right "#" represents the EIA unit numbers on the rack columns.
Chapter 2 Rack Mounting the HP NetServer Attaching the Column Adapters and Slides 1. Pull the anti-tip foot forward out of the bottom of the rack. See Figure 2-6 for the anti-tip foot location. 2. Align the left HP column adapter to the left front column as shown in Figure 2-5. 3. Match the column adapter holes (2nd & 14th) to the marks on the front column and place the column adapter mounting holes behind the column face. See Figure 2-5. 4.
Chapter 2 Rack Mounting the HP NetServer 6. Hold a slide in position inside the two left-hand rack columns and observing the following items. a. The mounting flange on each end of the slide must wrap around the outside face of both the front and rear columns. See Figure 2-6. b. The two holes in the mounting flange should line up with the captive nuts (at 7th and 9th holes) in the column adapter and the two rack nuts you installed on each rear column. c.
Chapter 2 Rack Mounting the HP NetServer 7. With the slide pushed firmly into position, insert two screws through the slide’s front bracket into the captive nuts on the left column adapter. a. Secure the screws only loosely at first, so the bracket can settle into the lowest possible position. There is a dimple in the bracket to position the slides in the proper location. b. Then tighten the screws until the bracket is held firmly to the column adapter and rack column. See Figures 2-5 and 2-6. 8.
Chapter 2 Rack Mounting the HP NetServer Attach the Hinge Assembly and Catch Assembly Use this procedure to attach the hinge assembly and catch assembly to the LC 2000 pedestal. 1.

Chapter 2 Rack Mounting the HP NetServer Placing the HP NetServer in the Rack Use this procedure to position the HP NetServer into the extended slides and secure the chassis to the slides. Once the NetServer is in the rack, then you connect the Cable Management Arm to the rear of the NetServer. WARNING To prevent rack instability while mounting the HP NetServer pull the rack’s anti-tip foot forward out of the bottom. Failure to do so could result in injury and equipment damage.
Chapter 2 Rack Mounting the HP NetServer 3. Pull out both slides until the slide members are fully extended. See Figure 2-9. The slides click into position when locked. This locked position prevents the slides from moving back into the rack, unless the release latches are pressed as shown in Figure 2-12. 4. With the help of at least one other person, lift the HP NetServer by its four handles off the floor. 5. Move the rear of the NetServer just beyond the extended slide members. 6.
Chapter 2 Rack Mounting the HP NetServer 7. Lower the NetServer onto the slide members. See Figure 2-10. The handles will temporarily support the NetServer on the slides. 8. Adjust the NetServer’s position on the slide members to line up the mounting holes on each side (3 each) of the chassis with the screw holes in the slide members. Figure 2-11. Removing the Mounting Handles 9.
Chapter 2 Rack Mounting the HP NetServer 11. Take the handles off the NetServer and store the handles and screws in a convenient place. See Figure 2-11. The handles can be re-attached whenever you remove the NetServer from the rack. If moving the NetServer elsewhere, always package it with the handles attached. 12. Press in the release latches on each slide, and push the NetServer all the way into the rack. See Figure 2-12.
