Chapter 1 Introduction HP NetServer LXr 8000 – Compaq Rack Precautions CAUTION If this NetServer is not installed according to these instructions, damage to the NetServer or accessories may result. Damage due to improper installation is not covered by the HP Warranty. Observe the precautions listed in this section to maintain the NetServer’s reliability.
2 Overview The steps required to install the NetServer in the rack are summarized below: NOTE This is only a summary; detailed instructions are provided on the following pages. • Measure and mark the appropriate holes on all four rack columns. • Install four rack nuts on each of the two front rack columns. • Insert two rack nuts on each of the two rear rack columns. • Attach the slides to the columns. • Extend the slides. • Remove power supply modules from the NetServer.
Chapter 2 Warranty and Support Terms used in this document are defined in the table below. Term 6 Definition Rack nut Single nut designed to clip behind the rack column and accept a screw through the hole in the column. Slide Extendible side bracket that is attached to the rack enclosure columns, onto which the NetServer is mounted. Consists of a stationary component, and an extendible member (see Figure 3-3). Allows access to the NetServer after it is installed in the rack chassis.
3 Installation This section contains detailed instructions for installing an HP NetServer LXr 8000 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 LXr 8000 measures 7 EIA units tall.
Chapter 3 Installation 7th 3rd 7th 3rd (At Rear Of Column) 17th 6th 4th 17th 9th 9th Template (optional) 6th 4th Unit Below Intended Installation Location Figure 3-1. Marking Holes for Installation Now mark two holes on each of the front columns to use for the rack nuts where the server-attachment screws secure to the columns. To mark the server-attachment holes on the front columns (refer to Figure 3-1), count up from the top of the unit below, marking the 9th, and 17th holes.
Chapter 3 Installation Rack Nut Column Figure 3-2. Installing Rack Nuts 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). Use either slide in either location; they are identical. NOTE The slides do not come apart; they are one piece.
Chapter 3 Installation Rear Flange Front Flange Extendible Members Figure 3-3. Slide Components and Orientation 2. Place the mounting flange of the slide on the outside face of the column (see Figure 3-4). Do this at the front and rear columns. 3. Insert the two screws through the two holes in each flange and tighten the screws. 4. Repeat for the other slide.
Chapter 3 Installation Column Slide Flange Screws Figure 3-4. Mounting a Slide To a Column Installing the NetServer 1. Extend the slides until you hear a click, indicating they are fully extended in the locked-out position. Note that the slides do not come apart (see Figure 3-3). 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 WARNING The installation handles are mounted on the sides of the NetServer forward of the center of balance. Safe handling of the NetServer requires that the power supply modules be removed from the rear of the NetServer prior to installation in the rack equipment enclosure. By removing the power supply modules, the center of balance shifts forward and allows you to lift and handle the NetServer safely.
Chapter 3 Installation Power Supply Module Pull Handle Down Pull Module Out Figure 3-5. Removing a Power Supply Module WARNING This NetServer weighs up to 160 pounds (73 kg.) when fully configured. Remove all power supply modules and hot-swap hard disk drives before lifting the NetServer. Use two people when moving the NetServer or lifting it into the rack. 3. Using two people, lift the NetServer using the handles on each side.
