4.1 ProLiant DL360 Preparation
This section briefly describes the server preparation. Refer to the Compaq ProLiant DL360 Setup
and Installation Guide and accompanying documentation for details.
The ProLiant DL360 comes with standard fast deployment fixed rack rail kit designed for 29-inch
deep square-hole racks, like the Compaq racks. If the application does not require in-rack
servicing, then the factory-equipped fixed-rails may be used for installation.
The sliding rails and cable management solution option allows the server to be extended fully
from the rack, temporarily locked in place for servicing, and without removing the cables from
the server. It also provides better access to the rear cabling connections. The rails are designed for
29-inch deep square-hole racks, like the Compaq racks. If customers choose to use the sliding rail
and cable management solution option, then replace the factory-mounted fixed server rails with
the optional sliding server rails on the server. Then install the optional cable tray to the rear of the
server chassis per the instructions that come with the option.
Prior to installing a ProLiant DL360 server in a rack, install all the necessary optional
components inside the server, such as the Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition, additional
processor, and additional DIMMs.
