Preparing the ProLiant DL320 for Rack Installation
This section briefly describes preparing the server for rack installation. Refer to the Compaq
ProLiant DL320 Setup and Installation Guide and the rack option documentation for detailed
installation instructions.
If the server is still in the shipping container, remove the server and all included components from
the box. Ensure that all parts and components ordered with the server are present and undamaged.
Place the server on a stable, flat surface.
With the exception of rack rail solution kits, install any optional hardware components ordered
with the server. Unpack and install one option kit at a time to reduce the risk of damage to any
option kit or component. The documentation included with each option kit contains detailed
installation instructions for that option. Refer to the setup and installation guide included with the
server for additional information on any hardware installation procedure.
The ProLiant DL320 server ships with a cable support bracket that works with the standard fixed
rail cable management tray and the two-level cable management tray included with the Sliding
Rails and Cable Management Solution. Attach the cable support bracket to the rear of the server
before installing the server in a rack.
