Overview
This document contains instructions for installing HP rack rails into square
and round hole racks for HP 1U and 2U servers.
NOTE:
For more information on preparing the server for installation,
see the user guide that ships with the server.
Kit contents
•Two rack rails (left and right)
•Mounting hardware for square and round hole racks
•Two tie wraps
NOTE:
If mounting the server into threaded hole or telco racks, please
see www.racksolutions.com to purchase mounting hardware.
Important safety information
See the Important Safety Information document included with the server.
CAUTION:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic
components. Be sure you are properly grounded (earthed)
before beginning any installation procedure.
Installation guidelines
This installation is to be performed by qualified individuals who have
knowledge of the procedures, precautions, and hazards associated with
equipment containing hazardous electrical circuits.
WARNING!
These rails, when installed, form only a shelf for the server to
rest on. The server is not attached to the rail by any other means.
Use extreme caution when pulling the server out from the rack;
it can slip and fall, causing damage to the server or injury. HP
is not responsible for any damage or injury caused by the
mishandling of the server.

WARNING!
Ensure that the rack is level and stable before working on the
rack. Be sure the leveling jacks (feet) extend to the floor and
that the full weight of the rack rests firmly on the floor.
WARNING!
Ensure that the rack has anti-tip measures in place. Such
measures may include floor-bolting, anti-tip feet, ballast, or a
combination of these as specified by the rack manufacturer and
applicable codes.
WARNING!
Ensure that sufficient personnel are on hand to support the
product(s) during the installation process. Use of the appropriate
lifting device is recommended as an installation aid.
WARNING!
Always load the rack from the bottom up. Load the heaviest
items in the rack first. This makes the rack bottom-heavy and
helps prevent it from becoming unstable.
WARNING!
Do not overload the branch circuit that provides power to the
rack. The total rack load should not exceed 80 percent of the
branch circuit rating.
Mounting the server
1. Position left and right rack rails at the desired 'U' position in the
rack (step 1 in Figure 1).
NOTE:
The rails can be adjusted to fit the rack.
2. Secure rack rails to the front and back rack columns using screws.
Make sure that the shoulders of the screws fit inside the square or
round holes of the rack (step 2 in Figure 1).
NOTE:
If installing rails into a square hole rack, use
larger-sized shoulder screws and pins for mounting.
If installing rails into a round hole rack, use
smaller-sized shoulder screws and pins for
mounting.
Figure 1 Attach the rails to the rack columns
3. Slide the server into position on the rails (step 3 in Figures 2, 3).
NOTE:
The rear ends of the rails have a CTO bracket that
must overlap the chassis tab in order to secure the
server to the rails (Figure 4).
