installing rack rails
The following procedure describes how to install the standard rack rails onto the
rack. The rails are designed to snap in place without screws or nuts.
1. Remove the server rails from the left and right standard rails.
2. Insert the rails into the rack holes.
3. Install the server rails onto the chassis.
Repeat the procedure for any subsequent rack rails. For detailed instructions on
installing standard rack rails, refer to the HP ProLiant DL560 Server User Guide or
HP ProLiant DL560 Quick Setup Poster.
installing a server
into a rack
To properly install servers:
1. Install servers into the rack from the bottom to the top for maximum density.
2. Tighten the thumbscrews on the front of each server to secure the server to
the rack.
3. Attach the cable management solution to the rear of the server and to the
rear of the rack.
For detailed instructions on server installation, refer to the HP ProLiant DL560
Server User Guide or HP ProLiant DL560 Quick Setup Poster.
connecting cables
This section discusses connecting and routing cables with different cable
management solutions and different console management solutions. Connect
cables and devices as follows:
1. Connect the cables to each device installed in the rack, working from the
bottom to the top.
2. Connect the cables to the bottom piece of equipment.
3. Bundle the cables and route them through the cable management
solution.
4. Connect the cables to the console switchbox.
5. Connect the power cord to the PDU. Do not connect the PDU to any power
source until all equipment is fully deployed in the rack.
When the cables are properly connected and routed through the cable
management arm, the rear door of the rack closes easily over the cables. If the
rear door does not close easily, additional space might be required. Install the
rack extension or the bustle kit to provide more space for the cables at the rear
of the rack.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
• Unplug the power cord from the system.
• Do not disable the power-cord-grounding plug. The grounding plug is an
important safety feature.
• Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily
accessible at all times.
• Do not route the power cord where it can be walked on or pinched by items
placed against it. Pay particular attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and
the point where the cord extends from the server.
