HP Netserver LXr 8000 Rack Cabling Guide

Chapter 2 Connecting and Routing Cables to the HP NetServer LXr 8000

CAUTION Orient the star-washer on the hex nut toward the painted

surface of the rack. Ensure the screw and nut are tightened

sufficiently to cause the star washers to pierce the paint and

bring the lock washer teeth in contact with metal. This action

ensures that the rack ground connection to the PDU is made.

Mounting the PDU Vertically

NOTE When mounted vertically, the PDU mounting holes line up

with holes in the second row of mounting holes, not the "EIA

Unit" row of holes in the vertical face. See Figure 2-5.

Installation Steps

To mount a PDU vertically, follow these steps:

1. Locate the PDU on the side of the rack opposite the cable guide. Avoid

the door latch near the center of the rack. The receptacles of the PDU

should face inward, not rearward. (If they face rearward, the PDU

receptacles will be blocked by the rack side panels when the rack is

fully assembled.) The power cord input (and the two "reset" buttons)

will be on the lower end of the PDU when it is in the correct position.
