You can mount the HP NetServer LH 3r in either the Type 1 rack (HP Rack
System/E) or in the Type 2 rack (HP Rack Systems). The procedures for
mounting are similar, except that there are two different templates included and
the mounting slides fasten to the rear columns differently.

NOTE

If you want to put your NetServer into a third-party rack, you
may be able to find relevant documentation on HP's web site at
the following URL:

1. First, determine and mark the height at which the NetServer is to be

located in the rack enclosure.

Use the original ordering information to locate where each component
goes in the rack. See Figure 8-4.

If the original ordering information is not available, use HP rack
configuration tools to plan the location of the components.

You can also use the HP NetServer rack configuration tools to make
ordering easier and to automatically check that orders are complete. These
tools can be found on the HP web site. Use the Search function with the
words "rack configuration tools" at the following URL:
