the rack hardware kit.

website
. Follow the server-specific instructions on the website to install
the rack brackets.
Use the following information when connecting peripheral cables and power cords to the server.
WARNING:
This server is very heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the
equipment:
•
Observe local occupational health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual
material handling.
•
Get help to lift and stabilize the product during installation or removal, especially when the
product is not fastened to the rails. HP recommends that a minimum of two people are required
for all rack server installations. A third person may be required to help align the server if the
server is installed higher than chest level.
•
Use caution when installing the server in or removing the server from the rack; it is unstable
when not fastened to the rails.
CAUTION:
Always plan the rack installation so that the heaviest item is on the bottom of the rack.
Install the heaviest item first, and continue to populate the rack from the bottom to the top.
