HP Netserver High Density Rack Solutions Overview (LP 2000r)

Marking the rack

The HP Netserver LP 2000r rack mount kit requires two EIA units of space in the rack. It is, of course, imperative that all system components be mounted on the level. To ensure this, you must install all the equipment in the correct holes. The instructions below describe how to mark the rack before you begin the installation.

Use this section to mark the front and rear columns of the HP System/E or HP System/U rack. The slide- rails mount to the face of the front columns and the inside face of the rear columns. The rack template and marking pen (or masking tape) are used to identify and mark the locations on the columns.

CAUTION If other rack components are to be mounted in the rack below the HP Netserver, install those components before starting to mount the Netserver.

NOTE

Use the HP Rack Configuration Tools to determine where in the rack to mount the HP

 

Netserver. The tools are available at: http://www.hp.com/netserver/support

 

 

1. Find the EIA unit markings on the rack and the location for the Netserver.
