HP StoreEver Rack-mount Kits - Manual (Page 14)

When installing the enclosure in a rack:
•
Start at the bottom of the rack, or at the top of a previously mounted component, and work
upward
•
HP recommends installing the heaviest components at the bottom and lighter ones toward the
top of the rack
•
Make sure that the rack-mounting rails are level from front to back and side to side
Before You Begin
If you are installing the 1U rack-mount enclosure in a rack with unmarked holes in the vertical
mounting columns, identify and mark the correct mounting holes in the rack before you begin rail
installation.
CAUTION: It is important to install rack components level. To ensure that the 1U rack-mount
enclosure is installed correctly it may be necessary to measure the height of the correct mounting
holes in the front and rear vertical mounting columns.
Installing the Component Rails
Component rails are the inner portion of the rack rail system that attach to the 1U rack-mount
enclosure.
1.
Align the slotted holes on the left and right component rails with the three pins on the sides of
the enclosure (1).
2. Slide the component rails toward the rear of the enclosure (2) until they lock into place.
Figure 17 Installing the component rails
NOTE: To remove the component rail, pull out the spring-loaded tab (3) on the side of the
rail and slide it forward (4).
IMPORTANT: If you are returning the 1U rack-mount enclosure for service, be sure to remove
and save the component rail.
Installing the Rack Rails
Installation procedures vary depending on the rack type. Refer to one of the following sections for
installation instructions for your rack:
