Manuals page of the HP Business Support Center website.
The kit contains:
A cable management system consisting of a cable reel and cable rack bracket
A pair of spring-loaded rails
Tools Required
You will need a Phillips screwdriver #2 to install the cable management system. You will also need
two M6 x 1.0- 1 2L Phillips screws that came with your rack.
Installing the 3U Rack-mount Enclosure
Rack Safety
WARNING!
The rack leveling jacks are extended to the floor
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 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.
When installing the enclosure in a rack:
Start at the bottom of the rack, or at the top of a previously mounted component, and work
upward.
It is recommended to install the heaviest components at the bottom and lighter ones toward
the top of the rack.
Make sure that the rack-mounting rails are level from front to back and side to side.
Have a pencil available before you begin.
If required, download the template from the HP website to mark the rack for proper alignment
of rack-mounting brackets.
NOTE:
To find the template on the HP website, go to http://www.hp.com/support/manuals. In
