NOTE If you want to put your NetServer into a third-party rack not
mentioned in the guide, you may be able to find relevant
documentation on HP’s web site at the following URL:
http://www.hp.com/netserver/support
The HP NetServer rack mount kit requires five EIA units of space in the rack.
Before mounting the NetServer, plan the NetServer’s location in the rack relative
to other rack components. Proper placement is vital both for safety and operating
efficiency. For more details, see the HP Rack Installation Road Map and the HP
NetServer LC 2000r Rack Cabling Reference Guide.
NOTE If the HP NetServer is completely configured by the vendor
before delivery to the customer, then mounting the HP
NetServer in the rack may be the final step in the installation
procedure. If the vendor configures the HP NetServer at the
customer’s site, installation of the network operating system
and other software may occur after the HP NetServer is
mounted in the rack.
WARNING The HP NetServer weighs 80 lbs. (36 kg) fully loaded. To
prevent an accident use two people when placing the
NetServer into the rack.
CAUTION If other rack components are to be mounted in the rack below
the HP NetServer, install those components before starting to
mount the NetServer.
Tools Required
To assemble the rack mount kit and install the HP NetServer on it, you need these
tools.
•T-15 and T-25 Torx Drivers
•Number 2 Phillips screwdriver
l Marking pen

Safety Precautions
Always keep the following safety and environmental issues in mind, especially if
you install the HP NetServer in a non-HP rack environment:
l Optimum Operating Environment – The optimum operating conditions
for the HP NetServer is in an environmental controlled computer room
with a temperature range of 20 to 22°C (68 to 72°F) at 40 to 60% relative
humidity.
•Maximum Ambient Temperature - Ensure the maximum ambient
temperature does not exceed 35°C (95°F).
•Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature - The ambient operating
temperature within a closed or multi-unit rack assembly is likely to exceed
the room's ambient temperature. Ensure the temperature within the rack
itself does not exceed 35°C (95°F).
•Reduced Air Flow - As you mount equipment in the rack, ensure you
allow enough air flow for safe operation of the equipment. The NetServer's
fans will only operate correctly if both front and rear doors of the rack
allow free air flow (perforated openings), or are removed.
•Mechanical Loading - Uneven mechanical loading within the rack can
cause hazardous conditions. To prevent this in your installation plans,
place the heaviest components in the bottom of the rack, mounting all
components as low in the rack as is practical.
•Circuit Overloading - Ensure the total configuration of equipment in the
rack does not overload the supply circuit. To this end, check the nameplate
ratings on all equipment. Consider the effect of circuit overloading on
overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
•Reliable Earth Grounding - Maintain reliable earth grounding of rack-
mounted equipment. Give particular attention to supply connections that
are not direct connections to the branch circuit: for example, using non-HP
power strips.

Preparing the Rack
The column adapters and rack nuts must be connected to the rack before mounting
the slide mechanism. Once the slides are correctly mounted, then the HP
NetServer LC 2000r can be installed into the rack. A cardboard rack mounting
template comes with the HP NetServer. The template identifies the column
adapter and rack nut locations on the rack.
HP NetServer Rack Mount Parts List
