Server Installation Procedures
To install your rack server into a Compaq rack, complete all of the installation
procedures.
CAUTION: For Compaq Series 7000 racks, you must install highly ventilated
rack door inserts to provide proper front-to-back airflow and cooling.
Measuring with the Template
The rack template provides an easy and reliable way to properly position the
fixed rack rails in the rack.
Use the template to identify the proper locations for inserting rack rails. Mark
the rack from the top and bottom edges of the template to identify where the
server fits and to provide a starting point for installing the next unit.
CAUTION: Always begin by mounting the heaviest item on the bottom of the
rack. Continue to populate the rack from the bottom to the top.
IMPORTANT: Determine the server’s place in the rack before you start installing the rack
rails. To remind you of the proper placement of the server in the rack, refer to the Rack
Builder report you printed when you planned your rack configuration with the Rack Builder
tools provided with your Compaq rack.
IMPORTANT: The template is two-sided (front and back) and printed with arrows that
show you where to insert rack rails on the front and back of the rack.
