Chapter 8 Rack Mounting the HP Netserver (4-Post)
75
Preparing the Rack
The outer-rail assemblies must be released after shipment and the columns must be
marked before mounting the outer-rail assemblies. Once the outer-rails are
correctly mounted, then the HP Netserver LP 1000r can be installed into the rack.
A template is not provided because the Netserver is exactly one EIA unit high and
can only fit into one EIA unit, but not across two EIA units.
NOTE The HP Netserver weighs 32 lbs. (14.5 kg.) fully loaded. It is
not necessary to use two people when placing the Netserver
into the rack, but it may be helpful.
HP Netserver Rack Mount Parts List
Ensure the rack-mounting kit provided with the HP Netserver contains the
following parts:
Table 8-1. Parts for Rack Mount Kit
Quantity Description
2 Outer-rail assemblies
Releasing Outer-Rail Assemblies
This is only required the first time the outer-rail assemblies are shipped. The outer-
rails are compressed for shipping and held in place with two 10-mm nuts. These
nuts must be turned turn to release the spring assembly and then turned back to
hold the spring assembly in place with freedom to move back and forth. See
Figure 8-2.
1. Turn both nuts counterclockwise (CCW) ¾ of a turn to release the spring
assembly.
2. Turn both nuts back clockwise (CW) ¼ of a turn to hold the spring assembly
in place.
The spring assembly must be able to move freely back and forth to aid in
installation of the outer-rails into the rack.
