Furthermore, you must be sure that all power distribution devices used in the installation, such as branch
wiring and receptacles, are listed or certified grounding-type devices.
Because of the high ground-leakage currents associated with multiple servers connected to the same
power source, HP recommends the use of a PDU that is either permanently wired to the building’s branch
circuit or includes a nondetachable cord that is wired to an industrial-style plug. NEMA locking-style plugs
or those complying with IEC 60309 are considered suitable for this purpose. Using common power outlet
strips for the server is not recommended.
Rack warnings
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure
that:
• The leveling jacks are extended to the floor.
• The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks.
• The stabilizing feet are attached to the rack if it is a single-rack installation.
• The racks are coupled together in multiple-rack installations.
• Only one component is extended at a time. A rack may become unstable if more than
one component is extended for any reason.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage when unloading
a rack:
• At least two people are needed to safely unload the rack from the pallet. An empty
42U rack can weigh as much as 115 kg (253 lb), can stand more than 2.1 m (7 ft)
tall, and may become unstable when being moved on its casters.
• Never stand in front of the rack when it is rolling down the ramp from the pallet.
Always handle the rack from both sides.

rack or the server.
The contents of the server shipping carton include:
• Server
• Printed setup documentation, Documentation CD, and software products
• Power cord
• Rack mounting hardware kit and documentation
In addition to these supplied items, you may need:
• Application software CDs or diskettes
