1 HP 3-7U Quick Deploy Rail System Installation Instructions for HP products Overview This rack hardware kit supports a variety of 3-7U HP products in round-, square-, or threaded-hole racks. Use the legend to identify installation steps appropriate to the type of rack. IMPORTANT: If you are shipping the server installed in a rack, see the additional instructions located in "Preparing the product for rack relocation or integrated shipping" before proceeding. Hardware kit contents Copyright Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. The information contained herein is subject to change without notice. The only warranties for HP products and services are set forth in the express warranty statements accompanying such products and services. Nothing herein should be construed as constituting an additional warranty. HP shall not be liable for technical or editorial errors or omissions contained herein. June 2006 (Third Edition) Part Number In addition to the supplied items, you may need: Screws that fit a threaded-hole rack The appropriate screwdriver for the screws Kit B21 for integrated shipping a round-hole rack Rack warnings WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure that: The leveling jacks are extended to the floor.

2 The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks. The stabilizing feet are attached to the rack if it is a single-rack installation. The racks are coupled together in multiple-rack installations. Only one component is extended at a time. A rack may become unstable if more than one component is extended for any reason. Installing the product in a rack CAUTION: Always plan the rack installation so that the heaviest item is on the bottom of the rack. Install the heaviest item first, and continue to populate the rack from the bottom to the top. Anti-tip stabilizer The anti-tip stabilizers provide stability and support when equipment is installed, removed or accessed within the rack. Stabilizer kits are available in both 600-mm and 800-mm versions. HP also recommends using the side feet, provided with these kits, to stabilize stand-alone racks from the other side. If you are stabilizing racks that are secured together with baying kits, the side feet are optional on either end of the row. HP recommends that stabilizer option kits be used when one or more of the following situations occur: The standard 600-mm (23.62-in) or 800-mm (31.50-in) front foot is required with deployments of stand-alone racks. Side feet, which are included in the stabilizer kits, are recommended to be installed as well. Rack rows with four or more bayed racks, without a single rack-mountable components exceeding kg (220 lb), do not need a stabilizer kit installed. IMPORTANT: If you are shipping the server installed in a rack, see the additional instructions located in "Preparing the product for rack relocation or integrated shipping" before proceeding. Lift WARNING: If you are going to use a lift, be sure to use a lift that can handle the load of the server.

3 IMPORTANT: If you are installing the server in a shallow rack [i.e., less than cm (28.5 in)], see the additional instructions located in "Preparing the rails for shallow rack installation" before proceeding.

4 WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage, be sure that the rack is adequately stabilized before sliding the server into the rails. WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage, do one of the following: Use two or more people to lift and stabilize the product pieces during assembly. Use a lift that can handle the load of the product.

CAUTION: Be sure to keep the product parallel to the floor when sliding the server into the rails. Tilting the product up or down could result in damage to the slides.
