Unit 2 that is factory integrated.
The HP Server Expansion Unit 2 must be mounted in the same cabinet as the host HP Integrity
rx8640 Server.
The HP Integrity rx8640 Server must be mounted directly below the HP Server Expansion Unit
When adding an SEU-2 in the field to an existing host server, It is preferred that the SEU-2 be installed
directly above the host server. When not possible to install the SEU-2 above the host server in the field, it
is supported to install the SEU-2 in an adjacent rack. Please consult the SEU-2 install guide for more
details.

A heavy duty stabilizing kit is required for the rack of the rx8640 server to add stability for the HP
Universal 10K G2 rack. With this stabilizing kit, the ballast is no longer needed with the new HP
Universal rack. Use of the Heavy Duty Stabilizing kit is mandatory and should be installed immediately.

Due to the weight of the HP Integrity rx8640 Server, ballast kits have been developed to add stability to
HP Rack Systems/E cabinets while the system is being serviced. Every HP Integrity rx8640 Server shipped
to customers will be shipped with a ballast kit. These ballasts were designed to easily attach to the rear
anti tip foot that comes standard with every HP Rack System E cabinet. Use of the HP Integrity rx8640
Server ballast kit is mandatory and should be installed immediately.
UPS
UPSUPS
UPS Management of local UPSs for the rx7640 and rx8640 is now through a LAN port on the core I/O card.
Management of UPSs by the predecessor, rx7620 and rx8620 servers was through a serial port on the
core I/O. The serial port is not available on the rx7640 and rx8640 servers. Therefore, when upgrading
or adding rx7640 and rx8640 servers to your environment and using local UPSs (as opposed to
datacenter wide UPSs), make sure there is a LAN management card available on the local UPS.

The HP 9000 and Integrity servers are supported for field installs into these racks. Factory integration will
not be supported for HP 10000 and HP 9000 racks. Differing depth requirements of the HP
9000/Integrity racking kits preclude racking HP 9000/Integrity servers and HP ProLiant servers in the
same racks.
For further details, refer to the racking solutions section in the configuration guide.
Third-Party Racking
Third-Party RackingThird-Party Racking
Third-Party Racking HP Servers are designed to maximize performance density when installed into HP Rack Systems. HP Rack
Solutions maintain the high level of safety and reliability of HP Server solutions that customers have come
to expect. Although HP strongly recommends racking servers in HP Rack Solutions, it recognizes that
some customer circumstances may prohibit this. For those customers, HP has developed a set of
guidelines that when followed, enables server installations into third party cabinets. It is extremely
important that the guidelines be followed due to the wide variety of cabinets in the market place.
Please refer to the racking solutions section in the configuration guide for configuration guidelines.
