Chapter 2

Installation

Manual Lifting

Use this procedure only if no HP approved lift is available.

This procedure should only be performed by four qualified HP Service Personnel utilizing proper lifting

techniques and procedures.

System damage can occur through improper removal and re-installation of devices. This task must be

performed by trained personnel only. Instructions for removing and re-installing components can be found in

the Removal and Replacement chapter of the HP Service Guide: HP 9000 rp8420 server.

CAUTION Observe all ESD safety precautions before attempting this procedure. Failure to follow ESD

safety precautions could result in damage to the server.

Step 1. Follow the instructions on the outside of the server packaging to remove the banding and cardboard

top from the server pallet.

Step 2. Reduce the weight by removing all bulk power supplies and cell boards. Place each on an ESD

approved surface.

Step 3. Locate the four positioning handles on the sides of the system. They are color coded blue and

located close to each base corner of the unit.

Step 4. Ensure the vertical support brackets are in the down position so they rest on the slides when the

server is lowered to the rack slides. There are two brackets on each side of the server chassis.

Step 5. Unfold the handles so they are extended out from the unit. The server is now ready for manual

lifting by the four qualified HP Service Personnel.

Step 6. Lift the server into place and secure as required.

Step 7. After the server is secured, re-install the previously removed cell boards and bulk power supplies.
