Chapter 8 Rack Mounting the HP Netserver (2-Post)

Preparing the HP Netserver

Before the HP Netserver can be mounted in the rack, you need to remove the

factory-installed chassis slides from the Netserver and install the flush-mount or

center-mount brackets.

1. Lay the HP Netserver on a flat surface.

2. Remove the slides from the sides of the chassis. See Figure 8-3.

Figure 8-3. Removing Existing Hardware

3. If you are center-mounting the HP Netserver, remove the center spacers

(attached to the chassis under the slides). See Figure 8-3.

4. If you are flush-mounting the HP Netserver, remove front bezel and the

front brackets. See Figure 8-3.

Do not remove the front brackets if you are center-mounting the HP

Netserver. In this case, the front brackets are needed to attach the bezel.

5. Attach the appropriate mounting brackets to the chassis, using the four

screws provided for each bracket:

◊ If you are flush-mounting the HP Netserver, attach the two flush-mount

brackets, as shown in Figure 8-4.

◊ If you are center-mounting the HP Netserver, attach the two

center-mount brackets, as shown in Figure 8-5.

NOTE The flush-mount brackets have pins for connecting the

front bezel; the center-mount brackets do not have pins.
