1 Introduction
This document describes how to mount an HP NetServer LH 3r, LH 4r, LH3000r,
or LH 6000r into a Compaq®model 4000- or 7000-series rack enclosure. Refer to
the documentation that came with the HP NetServer for instructions on adding
accessories to, and configuring the NetServer.
The HP NetServer LH 3r, LH 4r, LH3000r, or LH 6000r (the pedestal versions of
this NetServer) cannot be installed in a rack enclosure. If you want to convert a
pedestal version for installation in a rack enclosure, contact your HP Reseller for
information about the available conversion kit.
Pedestal and rack–optimized versions are shown in Figure 1-1.

WARNING To prevent the rack from tipping over and causing equipment
damage or bodily injury, be sure that the stabilizing, anti-tip
feature is installed on this rack enclosure see Figure 1-2.
WARNING To prevent the rack from tipping over and causing equipment
damage or bodily injury, do not extend more than one piece of
equipment at a time out of the front of the rack enclosure.
Be sure that the stabilizing, anti-tip feature is installed on the rack enclosure in
which you are installing the HP NetServer. This option consists of two "feet" at
the front of the base of the enclosure and, if you are installing this NetServer in a
single rack enclosure, two "feet" each on the left and right sides of the enclosure
see Figure 1-2.

HP NetServer – Compaq Rack Precautions
CAUTION If this NetServer is not installed according to these
instructions, damage to the NetServer or accessories may
result. Damage due to improper installation is not covered by
the HP Warranty. Observe the precautions listed in this
section to maintain the NetServer’s reliability.
When installing this HP NetServer in a Compaq rack enclosure, certain
requirements must be addressed to assure that the needs of the NetServer are met.
This NetServer will meet the requirements designed for the NetServer if:
•The NetServer is installed in a Compaq model 4000- or 7000-series rack
enclosure. This NetServer is not supported in any other non-HP rack
enclosure.
•If you choose to use a door on this enclosure, only a Compaq model
4000- or 7000-series door may be used. No other door may be used. The
enclosure may then be used with the door open, closed, or removed.
•If you install a cable management arm, be sure to remove and discard the
rear door of the rack.
•Mass storage devices listed in the Tested Products List (located on the
HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM) are used exclusively in the NetServer.
•Use HP rack accessories. (Note that HP rack accessories are not optimized
for Compaq rack enclosures.)
Compaq rack accessories have not been tested with HP NetServer
products, but components such as monitors, keyboards, switchboxes, and
PDUs often work.
•Use APC®uninterruptable power supplies (UPS) with HP NetServers.
APC offers mounting kits for Compaq rack enclosures.
This NetServer is not supported in a rack enclosure under circumstances other
than those listed above.
See the "Warranty and Support" section of this document for additional support
considerations.
