Generic Rack Assembly Steps

Suggested Method for Building an HP NetServer Rack Installation

1. Check Site Preparation

Use the Site Preparation Checklist in this chapter to be sure that all necessary

preparations have been completed, including:

• floor assessed for levelness and sufficient strength and space

• network and software guidelines met

• site electrical power supply set-up complete

• environmental and space requirements met

• data and voice communications pre-tested

• system parameters correctly configured

• hardware and cables order checked

2. Receiving

CAUTION Units are heavy, often weighing between 85 and 100 lb. (50

and 60 kg). Do not attempt to move or install such units

without help. Also, remove power supplies and hard disk

drives to minimize the amount of weight to be lifted.

Compare the order documents to the packing list or to a list of boxes received.

Check to see that all parts are present. Unpack the HP NetServer and external

storage and tape backup units (if any were ordered).

NOTE Save the boxes and packaging materials if you intend to reship

the units and rack.

3. Prepare Rack Enclosures for Assembly

WARNING A tip-over hazard exists. Rack enclosures are shipped upright

and are top-heavy. Never move enclosures without adequate

equipment and assistance. Use caution to prevent rack from

falling over and causing potential damage or injury.
