Setup 27
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.
To install the server in an HP, Compaq-branded, Telco, or third party rack:
1. Install the server and cable management arm option into the rack. See the documentation that ships with
the Quick Deploy Rail System.
2. Connect the peripheral devices to the server. For information on identifying connectors, see "Rear panel
components (on page 8)."
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not plug
telephone or telecommunications connectors into RJ-45 connectors.
3. Connect the power cord to the server.
4. Use the strain relief clip from the server hardware kit to secure the power cord.
5. Connect the power cord to the power source.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
• Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety
feature.
• Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all
times.
• Unplug the power cord from the power supply to disconnect power to the equipment.
• Do not route the power cord where it can be walked on or pinched by items placed against it.
Pay particular attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the cord extends from
the server.
Installing the operating system
This ProLiant server does not ship with provisioning media. Everything needed to manage and install the
system software and firmware is preloaded on the server.
