Chapter 13 Alternative Rack Mounting (4–Post)
113
Before mounting the Netserver, determine the Netserver's location in the rack
relative to other rack components. Proper placement is vital both for safety and
operating efficiency. For more information, refer to "Rack Configuration Tools"
later in this chapter.
NOTE If the HP Netserver is completely configured by the vendor
before delivery to the customer, then mounting the HP
Netserver in the rack may be the final step in the installation
procedure. If the vendor configures the HP Netserver at the
customer's site, installation of the network operating system
and other software may occur after the HP Netserver is
mounted in the rack.
CAUTION If other rack components are to be mounted in the rack below
the HP Netserver, install those components before starting to
mount the Netserver.
Tools Required
This rack mounting kit is provided as a tool-less assembly, but does need a nut
