HP IBRIX X9730 Performance Module Installation Instructions (QZ730-96001, June 2012)

Installing the X9730 CX into the rack
WARNING! The X9730 CX with no drives
installed weighs 72.58 kg (160.00 lb). With
all drives and components installed, the X9730
CX can weigh up to 145.15 kg (320 lb). Before
configuring your rack solution, be sure to check
the manufacturer weight limits and
specifications. Failure to do so can result in
physical injury or damage to the equipment and
the facility.
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.
• HP has not tested or validated the X9730
CX with any third-party racks. Before
installing the X9730 CX in a third-party
rack, be sure to properly scope the
limitations of the rack. Before proceeding
with the installation, consider the following:
◦ You must fully understand the static and
dynamic load carrying capacity of the
rack and be sure that it can
accommodate the weight of the X9730
CX.
◦ Be sure sufficient clearance exists for
cabling, installation and removal of the
enclosure, actuation of the rack doors,
and full articulation of the drive
drawers.
The rack rails are marked for easy identification. The
left rack rail is marked "L" and the right rack rail is
marked "R."
1. Begin with the left rack rail. Align the end of the
rail with the rear rack column.
2. Slide the rack rail closed until the end of the rail
is locked in place, wrapping behind the rear rack
column.
3. Slide the front end of the rail to the rack front
column. When fully seated, the rack rail will lock
into place.

WARNING! The X9730 CX is very heavy.
To reduce the risk of personal injury or
damage to the equipment:
• Observe local occupational health and
safety requirements and guidelines for
manual material handling.
• Remove all installed components from
the X9730 CX before installing or
moving the X9730 CX.
• Use caution and get help to lift and
stabilize the X9730 CX during
installation or removal, especially
when the X9730 CX is not fastened to
the rack.
Always use at least two people to lift an
enclosure into the rack. If the enclosure is
being loaded into the rack above chest
level, a third person must assist with
aligning the enclosure with the rails while
the other two people support the weight of
the enclosure.
6. Tighten the thumbscrews to secure the X9730 CX
to the rack.
