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).
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 LXr 8000. This feature 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).

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 the HP NetServer LXr 8000 is installed in a Compaq rack enclosure, certain
requirements must be addressed to assure that the needs of the NetServer are met.
These requirements are:
•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 be used with the door open, closed, or removed.
•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. (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.
NOTE This NetServer will not work with Compaq PDUs; the power
connectors are incompatible. An appropriate PDU must be ordered.
•Use APC®uninterruptible 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.
