1 Important Warnings
Electricity
Electrical Grounding
WARNING! For your safety always connect the equipment to a grounded wall outlet. Always
use a power cord with a properly grounded plug, such as the one provided with the equipment,
or one in compliance with your national safety standards. This equipment can be disconnected
from the power by removing the power cord from the power outlet. This means the equipment
must be located close to an easily accessible power outlet.
Static Electricity
CAUTION: Static electricity can damage electronic components. Turn off all equipment when
removing or adding components. Don’t let your clothes touch the accessory. To equalize the
static electricity, rest the accessory bag on top of the system while you are removing the accessory
from the bag. Handle the accessory as little as possible and with care.
Potential Metallic Particulate Contamination
Metallic particulates can be especially harmful around electronic equipment. This type of
contamination may enter the data center environment from a variety of sources, including, but
not limited to, raised floor tiles, worn air conditioning parts, heating ducts, rotor brushes in
vacuum cleaners or printer component wear. Because metallic particulates conduct electricity,
they have an increased potential for creating short circuits in electronic equipment. This problem
is exaggerated by the increasingly dense circuitry of electronic equipment.
Over time, very fine whiskers of pure metal can form on electroplated zinc, cadmium, or tin
surfaces. If these whiskers are disturbed, they may break off and become airborne, possibly
causing failures or operational interruptions. For over 50 years, the electronics industry has been
aware of the relatively rare, but possible, threat posed by metallic particulate contamination.
During recent years, a growing concern has developed in computer rooms where these conductive
contaminants are formed on the bottom of some raised floor tiles.
Although this problem is relatively rare, it may be an issue within your computer room. Since
metallic contamination can cause permanent or intermittent failures on your electronic equipment,
Hewlett-Packard strongly recommends that your site be evaluated for metallic particulate
contamination before installation of electronic equipment.

2 Installing the Server into the Pedestal Kit
Use this chapter to install your rx2660 to a pedestal kit.
The following are the high-level procedures needed to install the rx2660 server into a pedestal
kit.
1. Remove the rack-mount rails from the server (if necessary).
2. Install the pedestal kit top and bottom pieces.
3. Install the bezel cover.
4. Install the pedestal kit left side piece.
5. Install the pedestal kit right side piece.
6. Install the pedestal kit feet.
Required Tools
There are no tools required for installing the pedestal kit, but a flat head screwdriver is required
to remove the pedestal kit from the server.
Removing the Rails from the Server
If your server has rails when you receive it, you need to remove the rails before mounting it in
the pedestal kit. Remove the rails from the server by doing the following:
1. Slightly pull the rail lock away from the rail to unlock the rail. See Figure 2-1 (page 8).
2. Slide the rail toward the front of the server to disengage the rail from the posts on the server.
3. Repeat these steps for the rail on the other side of the server.
Figure 2-1 Removing the Rails from the Server
8 Installing the Server into the Pedestal Kit

Installing the Pedestal Kit Top and Bottom
IMPORTANT: In this document the server top, bottom, right and left always refer to the server
as faced from the front with the server in a horizontal orientation. The pedestal kit components
are referred to by their final position with the server in a vertical orientation. For example, the
pedestal kit bottom attaches to the server left side. See Figure 2-2 (page 9) for the server and
pedestal orientations.
Figure 2-2 Front of Server
3Server bottom/pedestal right 1Server top/pedestal left
2 4
Server left/pedestal bottom Server right/pedestal top
Installing the Pedestal Kit Top and Bottom 9

The pedestal kit bottom attaches to the left side of the server when the server is in the horizontal
position. The pedestal kit top attaches to the right side of the server when the server is in the
horizontal position. The pedestal bottom may be distinguished from the pedestal top by the
pedestal feet slots. The pedestal top for the HP Integrity rx2660 server contains windows through
which server information, such as the MAC address, can be read. The pedestal top also has
ventilation holes for air flow that match ventilation holes in the server chassis.
NOTE: The bottom piece of the pedestal is taller than the server, so try to position the server
so the left side (in the horizontal position) of the server hangs off the edge of the work surface
by a few inches to allow the bottom piece to be attached to the server chassis. If that is not possible,
then raise up the server approximately 3 inches from the work surface to allow the pedestal kit
bottom piece to be attached to the server left side.
Follow these steps to attach the pedestal kit top and bottom.
1. Align the holes in the pedestal component with the posts on the server. See Figure 2-3
(page 10).
NOTE: One of the holes in the pedestal component contains the locking mechanism. This
makes the hole appear partially blocked.
2. Hold the pedestal component flush against the server.
3. Slide the pedestal component forward until it locks into place

4. Stand the server up on the bottom piece of the pedestal kit that was just installed so the
server is in the vertical position.
CAUTION: The server is heavy. Be careful when lifting it to the vertical position.
Without the feet installed, the server may tip over easily. Be careful when working near the
server to avoid tipping it over.
NOTE: The allen wrench may interfere with installing the pedestal kit top piece. Rotate
the allen wrench away from the pedestal kit top piece to ensure it doesn't interfere with the
installation.
5. Align the holes in the pedestal top piece with the posts on the server.
NOTE: One of the holes in the pedestal component contains the locking mechanism. This
makes the hole appear partially blocked.
6. Hold the pedestal top piece flush against the server.
7. Slide the pedestal top piece forward until it locks into place.
8. The top and bottom pedestal kit pieces are now in place.
Installing the Bezel Cover
Follow these steps to install the bezel cover.
1. Attach the bezel cover to the front of the server starting from the bottom of the pedestal kit.
2. Push the bezel cover into place against the pedestal kit top piece until the tabs on the bezel
cover snap into place (1). See Figure 2-4 (page 11).
Figure 2-4 Attaching the Bezel Cover

Installing the Pedestal Kit Left Side Piece
The pedestal kit left side piece attaches to the top of the server. The top cover of the Office Friendly
server has ventilation holes in it to allow for proper air flow and cooling. The left side piece of
the pedestal kit also has ventilation holes in it to allow for the proper cooling and air flow. Follow
these steps to attach the pedestal kit left side piece.
WARNING! The ventilation holes in the pedestal kit left side piece must be matched up with
the ventilation holes on the top cover of the server to allow for proper cooling and air flow.
Failure to heed this warning will cause the server to shut down with an overtemp condition.
NOTE: If you are installing a Data Center server into a pedestal, there will be no ventilation
holes on the top cover of the server.
1. Align the posts on the pedestal kit left side piece with the slots in the pedestal kit top and
bottom.
2. Hold the pedestal side flush against the server and slide it toward the front of the server (1).
See Figure 2-5 (page 12).

Installing the Pedestal Kit Right Side Piece
The pedestal kit right side piece attaches to the bottom of the server. The bottom of the Office
Friendly server does not have ventilation holes in it, and the right side piece of the pedestal kit
does not have ventilation holes in it. Follow these steps to attach the pedestal kit right side piece.
IMPORTANT: Ensure the pedestal kit piece that you are installing onto the right side of the
pedestal (the bottom of the server) does not have ventilation holes in it.
NOTE: The allen wrench may interfere with installing the pedestal kit right side piece. Rotate
the allen wrench away from the pedestal kit right side piece to ensure it doesn't interfere with
the installation.
1. Align the posts on the pedestal kit right side piece with the slots in the pedestal kit top and
