About this guide
Rack options installation guide
This installation guide includes the instructions for installing rack option kits that are compatible with the HP
10000 G2 Series Rack.
For more information, see the HP 10000 G2 Series Rack User Guide on the HP website
(http://www.hp.com/go/rackandpower).
Important safety information
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure that:
•The rear leveling feet are extended to the floor.
•The full weight of the rack rests on the rear leveling feet and front stabilizer feet.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the rack and equipment, the
racks must be positioned and secured together according to these instructions. Failure to do so
could result in an unstable installation.
WARNING: Components can be very heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to
the equipment:
•
Remove all pluggable power supplies and modules to reduce the weight of the product before
lifting it.
•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. When the component weighs more than 22.5 kg (50 lb),
at least two people must lift the component into the rack together. If the component is loaded
into the rack above chest level, a third person must assist in aligning the rails while the other
two support the component.
•Use caution when installing the component in or removing the component from the rack; it is
unstable when not fastened to the rails.
Additional rack considerations
Consider the following specifications and components, with regard to your specific rack configuration:
•Power—If a UPS is installed, do not exceed its output rating. Be sure to review the installation
instructions provided with each component for important cautions and warnings.
•PDUs—Install PDUs before installing other components.
•Height—The height of the rack and of rack-mountable components is measured in U increments, where
U = 4.5 cm (1.75 in). When you are configuring your rack installation, remember that the total U
measurement of the components you want to install cannot exceed the stated U height of the rack.

About this guide 8
•Keyboard—The rack keyboard requires installation of a 1U keyboard drawer rack option kit.
•Monitor—The monitor requires installation of a monitor/utility shelf rack option kit unless you are using
a rack-mountable flat-panel monitor.
•Server console switch—If a console switch is configured, use the CPU-to-console switch cable included
with the server. The standard distance between the console switch and the keyboard, monitor, and
mouse can vary by 3-, 7-, 12-, 20-, and 40-ft lengths.
NOTE: National electrical regulations governing the installation of building wiring require that
an appropriate cable, meeting fire-safety standards, must be used any time cabling is routed:
•Through an overhead drop-ceiling
•Under raised flooring
•From room to room
•From floor to floor
Be sure that the cable jacket or sleeving is made of material that does not burn easily and does not
exude toxic fumes when exposed to heat. Be sure that the cable you have selected is appropriate
for your installation site. If you require a U.S. plenum-rated (CL2P) cable, contact your local HP
authorized reseller to obtain any of the following options:
•149363-B21-20-foot plenum cable
•149364-B21-40-foot plenum cable
•Rack baying option kits—The number of baying kits needed to join a series of racks is one less than the
number of racks in the suite. Each baying kit supplies parts to bay two cabinets on 600 mm (24 in)
center line spacing.
•Side panels—Only one set of side panels is required for each row of bayed racks.
•Stabilizer kit—A stabilizer kit is either required or recommended, depending on your rack
configuration. There are four stabilizer kit options.
oThe standard 600-mm (23.6 in) or 800-mm (31.5 in) front foot is required with deployments of
stand-alone racks. Rack rows with four or more bayed racks, without a single rack-mountable
component exceeding 99.8 kg (220 lb), do not need a stabilizer kit installed.
oThe heavy duty 600-mm (23.6 in) or 800-mm (31.5 in) front foot is required when a single
rack-mountable component weighing 99.8 kg (220 lb) or more is installed in a stand-alone rack or
in a rack belonging to a rack row of three or fewer bayed racks.
