While not specifically designed for use in seismic rack solutions, the commercial kit was successfully
evaluated in the AH343A HP Seismic Rack to the NEBS Zone 4 criteria as part of the ProLiant
DL380p Gen8 Server NEBS certification.
IMPORTANT: Cage nuts for the seismic rack must be installed in the appropriate locations, and
the kit must be installed as described in the HP Quick Deploy Rail System Installation Instructions
for Threaded-Hole Racks.
IMPORTANT: You must provide the screws to secure the slide mounting bracket assemblies.
IMPORTANT: The server must be secured in the rack using the captive screws located behind
the plastic retention levers on each side of the server.
NOTE: The square-hole cage nuts that are provided in the rack kit do not fit in the round holes
in the seismic rack.
NOTE: While the cable arm has successfully demonstrated compliance to the NEBS Zone 4
criteria, the ability of the cable arm to meet seismic requirements must be based on customer-specific
loading. Verification of the configured arm in a seismic solution is the responsibility of the customer.
