Planning the installation Warnings and cautions WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to equipment, heed all warnings and cautions throughout the installation instructions. WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure that: • • • • • The rack is bolted to the floor using the concrete anchor kit. The leveling feet extend to the floor. The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling feet. The racks are coupled together in multiple rack installations.
CAUTION: When performing non-hot-plug operations, you must power down the node and/or the system. However, it may be necessary to leave the node powered up when performing other operations, such as hot-plug installations or troubleshooting. Space and airflow requirements To enable servicing and ensure adequate airflow, observe the following spatial requirements when deciding where to install a rack: • Leave a minimum clearance of 61.0 cm (24 in) in front of the rack. • Leave a minimum clearance of 76.
covered by NFPA 70, 1999 Edition (National Electric Code) and NFPA-75, 1992 (code for Protection of Electronic Computer/Data Processing Equipment). For electrical power ratings on options, refer to the product rating label or the user documentation supplied with that option. WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack.

Setup Installation overview To set up and install the chassis: 1. Set up and install the rack. For more information, see the documentation that ships with the rack. 2. Prepare the chassis ("Preparing the chassis" on page 17). 3. Install the chassis into the rack ("Installing the chassis" on page 20). 4. Install the chassis components ("Component installation" on page 22) into the chassis. 5. Connect the chassis components ("Cabling and powering up the chassis" on page 28) in the chassis.
o Removing a 1U node o Removing a 2U node CAUTION: To avoid damage to the device, do not use the removal handle to carry it.
3. If installed, remove the security bezel. 4.
Installing the chassis WARNING: Always use at least two people to lift the chassis into the rack. If the chassis is being loaded into the rack above chest level, a third person must assist with aligning the chassis with the rails while the other two people support the weight of the chassis. WARNING: The chassis is very heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment: • Observe local occupational health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual material handling.
Install the chassis into the rack and tighten the thumbscrews.
Component installation Installing a node into the chassis Install a node into the chassis. • 1U • 2U Installing a drive 1.
o LFF drive o SFF drive IMPORTANT: If only one drive is being installed, install it in the bay with the lowest drive number. For drive installation guidelines, see "Drive installation guidelines." CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the server unless all bays are populated with either a component or a blank. 2.
o 3. SFF drive Determine the status of the drive from the drive LED definitions ("Hot-plug drive LED definitions" on page 15). Installing the power supplies CAUTION: Do not mix power supplies with different efficiency and wattage in the chassis. Install only one type of power supply in a single chassis. Slide the power supply into the power supply bay until it clicks into place.
Installing the RCM module Install the RCM module.
Chassis options Security bezel option The security bezel helps prevent unauthorized physical access to the front panel components. Install the security bezel, and then lock it with the key provided with the kit. Node blank option Install a node blank into the chassis.
CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the HP ProLiant t2500 Chassis unless all hard drive and device bays are populated with either a component or a blank. Insert the LFF drive blank until it clicks into the chassis. SFF drive blank option CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the HP ProLiant t2500 Chassis unless all hard drive and device bays are populated with either a component or a blank.
Cabling and powering up the chassis Cabling the chassis After all system hardware is installed, cable the components. See the HP ProLiant SL Servers Site Planning Guide on the HP website (http://www.hp.com) for additional cabling and site planning requirements. WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or injury due to high-current electrical energy, be sure that all power is completely disconnected at the source before beginning any power connections to the power bus bars or power bus box.
Troubleshooting Important safety information Familiarize yourself with the safety information in the following sections before troubleshooting the server. Important safety information Before servicing this product, read the Important Safety Information document provided with the server. Symbols on equipment The following symbols may be placed on equipment to indicate the presence of potentially hazardous conditions.
These symbols, on power supplies or systems, indicate that the equipment is supplied by multiple sources of power. WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from electric shock, remove all power cords to completely disconnect power from the system.
Electrostatic discharge Preventing electrostatic discharge To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when setting up the system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device. To prevent electrostatic damage: • Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.
