HP ProLiant DL100 G2 Data Protection Storage Server Rack Installation Instructions (December 2005)

1 Slide rail installation

NOTE: Depending on the rail kit provided, your rackmount rail

assemblies may vary slightly from those in the following illustrations.

1. Install the two slide rails to the sides of the rack.

NOTE: Two different types of rail kit designs are shown in the

illustration below, but both install similarly. Within a kit, the two rail

assemblies are identical, but depending on the side of the rack, are

rotated so the sliding portions of the rails are towards the center of the

rack.

a. Adjust the side rail assemblies to the approximate rack depth.

b. At one side of the rack, align the rail holes with the holes in the

rack and secure with the provided mounting hardware.

IMPORTANT: HP recommends leaving the rail mounting screws

loose until the server is completely installed. This eases installation by

preventing binding of the server in the rack.

c. Align holes at the other end of the rack with the rail assembly

and secure with mounting hardware.

d. Install the other side rail assembly on the other side of the rack

as described in the previous steps.

2. Locate the inner slide rails:

• If the rail assembly you mounted in the rack comes as one unit,

remove the inner slide rails from the outer slide rails. To do so,

extend the inner slide rails from the front of the rack until they

lock in place. Then, press the inner rail release latch, as shown,

and pull the inner slide rails straight out.

• If the inner slide rails in your kit are separate from the rail

assemblies installed in the racks, remove them from the kit box

and proceed to the next step.

2 Server preparation

1. Attach the two bezel brackets to the server using the supplied

bracket screws, as shown 1.

2. Attach an inner slide rail (lock facing out) to each side of the

server. Insert the slide rail screws through the inner slide rails as

shown 2, and then tighten.

3. Attach the bezel 3 to the bezel brackets, and then lock the bezel to

the server (if desired).

3 Server installation

1. Extend the outer slide rails fully from the rack until they lock. Insert

the inner slide rails (with the server attached) into the outer slide

rails, as shown 1. Press the inner slide lock 2, and then push the

server all the way into the rack, making sure that the inner slide

rails lock into place.

2. Slide the server in and out of the rack several times, allowing the

rails to position properly.

3. Tighten all the rail mounting screws.

4. Push the server fully into the rack 1. Insert a screw into each bezel

bracket and tighten to secure server to the rack 2.

4 Cables

1. Install networking cables.

2. Install the MSA cable.

• For the 3TB model, install the MSA cable as shown.

• For the 6TB model, install the cable for the second MSA in the

adjacent slot.

3. Connect the power cord to the back of the server, and plug the

power cord into the rack power strip.

5 Starting the DP Storage Server

To begin the first-time startup procedure:

• Ensure that the server is safely installed in an adequate

environment.

• Ensure that the power cables and peripheral devices are plugged

in, and that AC power is supplied to the server.

• See the DP Storage Server startup chapter in the HP ProLiant Data

Protection Storage Server user guide.
