Installing the Server into a Rack

The following information describes how to install the server into an HP rack or an approved non-HP rack.

HP Rack

HP servers that are installed into racks are shipped with equipment mounting slides. An installation guide comes with each set of slides: HP 3-7U Quick Deploy Rail System Installation Instructions for HP Products. Follow the steps in this installation guide to determine where and how to install the server into the rack.

The following are additional instructions for installing the HP Integrity rx3600 server into the rack:

1.The cable management arm (CMA) is factory configured to mount on the left side of the server as viewed from the rear of the chassis. You must switch the CMA from a left to a right-mount configuration. The CMA is mounted on the right side of the server to ensure easy removal of the power supplies.

2.Remove two T25 screws with the orange tags from the server bezel; one screw from the same location on each side of the server. The screws are located behind the pull handles.

3.Remove the large orange screws from the rear of the rack located on the left and right server slide rails. The server will not slide forward if these screws are not removed.

Non-HP Rack

The guide Mounting in non-HP racks enables you to evaluate the installation of HP equipment into non-HP racks. Use this guide when you need to qualify whether you can install, maintain, and service any HP equipment in a non-HP rack.

The guide is located on the Web at:

Select mounting information from the menu, then select Mounting in non-HP racks.

Installing the Server into a Pedestal Mount

The server ships with a pedestal mount if you order the rackless configuration option. The pedestal mount is packaged in a separate carton that is attached to the server carton.

To change the server from a rack mount to a rackless configuration, you need a Server Rackless Mount Kit. The rackless mount kit comes with the HP Integrity rx3600 Rack to Pedestal Conversion Guide. Follow the steps in the HP Integrity rx3600 Rack to Pedestal Conversion Guide to attach the pedestal mount to the server.
