1 Introduction
This document describes how to mount an HP NetServer LT 6000r into
third-party racks. Refer to the HP NetServer LT 6000r User Guide that came
with the HP NetServer for instructions on adding accessories to, and configuring
the HP NetServer.
If you have an HP Rack System/E, HP Rack System /U or an older HP Rack
System, See Chapter 8 and Chapter 13 of the HP NetServer LT 6000r Installation
Guide for alternative rack mount instructions.
Installation Basics – Safety Precautions
CAUTION If this HP NetServer is not installed according to these
instructions, damage to the HP NetServer or accessories may
result. The HP Warranty does not cover damage due to
improper installation. Observe the precautions listed in this
section to maintain HP NetServer reliability.
Always follow these safetyand environmental rules when installing an
HP NetServer in a third-party rack enclosure:
•The maximum recommended ambient operating temperature for the
server is 35oC. This ambient operating temperature must not be exceeded
either in the server room or inside the multi-unit rack enclosure.
•The airflow through the rack must be sufficient for safe operation.
•Uneven mechanical loading of servers in the rack can cause the rack to
tip. Plan the placement of equipment in the rack. Mount the heaviest
components in the bottom of the rack, and mount all components as low
in the rack as is practical.
•Make sure that the total equipment configuration in a rack does not
overloads the power supply circuit. Check the power ratings on the
nameplates of all equipment. Consider the effect of circuit overloading on
the overcurrent protection and supply wiring.

•Maintain reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular
attention to supply connections that are not direct connections to the
branch circuit (for example: power strips).

2 Prepare the HP NetServer for Rack
Mounting
Introduction
This chapter describes how to prepare the HP NetServer and third-party rack for
rack mounting.
Prepare the Rack
Before mounting the server, plan the server’s location in the rack relative to the
other rack components. Proper placement is vital for safety and operating
efficiency. For more details, see the Rack Installation Road Map and the HP
NetServer Rack Assembly and Cabling Reference Guide.
NOTE Mounting the HP NetServer LT 6000r into a third-party rack
may not be the final step in the installation procedure. If the
server is completely configured by the vendor before delivery
to the customer, then mounting the server in the rack may be
the last step. If the vendor configures the server at the
customer’s site, installation of the network operating system
(NOS) and other software might occur after the HP NetServer
is mounted in the rack.

Mark the Rack Using the Template
Use the rack-mounting template (for HP Rack System/E) to mark four EIA units
for positioning the HP NetServer LT 6000r in the rack.
1. Mark the front mounting holes.
a) Hold the template along side the front face of the left-front rack column.
The LT6000 Rack Mounting Template
b) Line up the template with the same rack space that the server will
occupy. (The template covers an area four EIA units high, the same
height the server requires.) The template identifies two holes in the rack
used for mounting the slide.
c) Mark the second and fourth holes from the baseline (bottom of the server)
for future reference.
d) Hold the template alongside the right-front rack column. The template
identifies the second and fourth holes from the baseline. Mark the second
and fourth holes from the baseline (bottom of the server) for future
reference.
