Installation guidelines

This installation is to be performed by qualified individuals who have

knowledge of the procedures, precautions, and hazards associated with

equipment containing hazardous electrical circuits.

WARNING!

These rails, when installed, form only a shelf for the device to

rest on. The device is not attached to the rail by any other

means. Use extreme caution when pulling the device out from

the rack; it can slip and fall, causing damage to the device or

injury. HP is not responsible for any damage or injury caused

by the mishandling of the device.

WARNING!

Ensure that the rack is level and stable before working on the

rack. Be sure the leveling jacks (feet) extend to the floor and

that the full weight of the rack rests firmly on the floor.

WARNING!

Ensure that the rack has anti-tip measures in place. Such

measures may include floor-bolting, anti-tip feet, ballast, or a

combination of these as specified by the rack manufacturer and

applicable codes.

WARNING!

Ensure that sufficient personnel are on hand to support the

product(s) during the installation process. Use of the appropriate

lifting device is recommended as an installation aid.

WARNING!

Always load the rack from the bottom up. Load the heaviest

items in the rack first. This makes the rack bottom-heavy and

helps prevent it from becoming unstable.

WARNING!

Do not overload the branch circuit that provides power to the

rack. The total rack load should not exceed 80 percent of the

branch circuit rating.

Installation procedures

1. Position left and right rack rails at the desired 'U' position in the

rack, adjusting the rails to fit the rack, as needed (1).

2. Secure rack rails to the front and back rack columns using screws.

Make sure that the shoulders of the screws fit inside the square or

round holes of the rack (2).

NOTE:

If installing rails in a square hole rack, use

larger-sized shoulder screws and pins for mounting.

If installing rails in a round hole rack, use

smaller-sized shoulder screws and pins for

mounting.

3. Slide the device into position on the rails (1) and then tighten the

thumbscrews on the front of the device to secure the device to the

rack.
