Installing the chassis
The chassis can be installed either in a rack or rack-free environment. For rack installations, install the rack
rails, and then install the chassis and other components.
For more information, see the HP ProLiant s6500 Chassis Setup and Installation Guide, Quick Deploy Rail
System Installation Instructions that ship with the rack hardware kit, and applicable installation instructions.
Installing the chassis components
WARNING: To avoid risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, do not stack anything
on top of rail-mounted equipment or use it as a work surface when extended from the rack.
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.
Before installing the chassis components, review chassis bay numbering for each component. For slot
numbering information, see the quick setup instructions.
Based on the total number ordered and the planned configuration, install the following components:
• Node
• Node blank
• Power supplies
• Power supply blanks
• System fans
Installing the server into the chassis
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.
1. Insert the system tray into the chassis.
