Installing a Server in a Rack
Install ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 servers in the rack from the bottom to the top. Tighten the
thumbscrews on the front of each server to secure the server to the rack. Attach the cable
management arm to the rear of the server and to the rear of the rack.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, fire, or damage to the
equipment:
• Extend the leveling jacks to the floor and rest the full weight of the rack on the
leveling jacks.
• Either install the stabilizer kit or couple multiple racks together for stability.
• Load the heaviest item first and load the rack from the bottom to the top. Loading the
rack in this manner makes the rack “bottom-heavy” and helps prevent the rack from
becoming unstable.
• Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack.
• Extend only one ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 server at a time. A rack may become
unstable if more than one ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 server is fully extended for
any reason.
