Installation Procedure
There are two installation procedures presented in the following paragraphs.
Each procedure is a summary of the steps you will follow to install your
Compaq ProLiant 3000 server. The procedure you will use depends on whether
you are installing a rack-mount model or a tower model server. Detailed
instructions for each of the numbered steps are included in later chapters of this
guide.
Installing a Rack Mount Model
1. Select an appropriate site for your rack. See the Rack Planning and
Installation Guide for site selection criteria.
2. Make sure that that stabilizer feet are installed on the rack.
3. Unpack the server.
4. Unpack the rack mounting hardware.
5. Install any hardware options in the server. See Chapter 4 and the options
kits for detailed instructions.
6. To make the server lighter and more manageable, do not install SCSI
drives in the server until after you load the server into the rack. You
may also lighten the server by removing the power supplies and
reinstalling them after you have mounted the server in the rack.
7. Set switches: processor board switches, system board switches, and
SCSI ID settings.
8. Attach rack mounting hardware to the rack and to the server. See
Chapter 3 for detailed instructions.
9. Slide the server into the rack. See Chapter 3.
10. Attach the cable management arm to the cable management arm bracket.
See Chapter 3.
11. Attach the optional cable support to the back of the rack. The cable
support is needed only if you are routing cables from one side of the
rack to the other. See Chapter 3.
