Each chassis ships with rack-mounting hardware. The sliding rails allow you to fully extend the system out of the
rack for service.
Caution:
See the Rack Installation Instructions supplied with the rack mount kit for safety and installation
instructions.
The racks you use for each chassis must meet these requirements:
• The sliding rails support tool-free mounting in 19-inch, EIA-310-E compliant square-hole, 4-post racks, and
also support tooled mounting in threaded 4-post racks.
• Ensure the rack has sufficient space for all systems.
• For full power redundancy across all servers, you need a rack with two power distribution units (PDU) feeding
separate outlet strips, with sufficient vacant outlets on each strip.
• Ensure the rack is installed and stabilized or bayed according to the manufacturer's instructions.
WARNING:
When servicing a server in a chassis, extend only one chassis at a time to prevent the rack from tipping.
NOTE:
For more information, refer to the HPE Apollo 2000 Gen10 Chassis User Guide.
Rack installation guidelines
There are guidelines to help you successfully install each chassis in a rack.
• Follow all safety guidelines stated in the documentation that came with the rack, particularly when installing
components into the locations at the top of the rack.
• Ensure the rack meets the requirements.
• Install multiple chassis in the same rack when possible.
• Install the chassis in a rack starting from the bottom of the rack.
• Always install the chassis in a horizontal position, or you void your warranty and support contract.
Install the chassis in a rack
Before you begin
• Before installing the chassis into the rack, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends removing the servers
and drives. Because a fully populated chassis is heavy, removing these components facilitates moving and
installing the chassis. For instructions, refer to the HPE Apollo 2000 Gen10 Chassis User Guide available from
the http://support.hpe.com website.
• You have read the Rack Installation Instructions, included in the rack mount kit in the shipping carton, for
installing the left and right rails in the rack. The rack mount kit instructions also explain how to stabilize the
rack, install devices, and configure power distribution.
WARNING:
The chassis is very heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment:

Chapter 2: Install the chassis components 15
• Observe local occupational health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual material handling.
• Remove all servers from the chassis before installing or moving the chassis.
• Use caution and get help to lift and stabilize the chassis during installation or removal, especially when
the chassis is not fastened to the rack.
WARNING:
To avoid risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, do not stack anything on top of railmounted
equipment or use it as a work surface when extended from the rack.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure that:
• The rack is bolted to the floor using the concrete anchor kit.
• The leveling feet extend to the floor.
• The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling feet.
• The racks are coupled together in multiple rack installations.
• Only one component is extended at a time. If more than one component is extended, a rack might
become unstable.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage, be sure that the rack is adequately stabilized
before installing the chassis.
Caution:
Always plan the rack installation so that the heaviest item is on the bottom of the rack. Install the heaviest
item first, and continue to populate the rack from the bottom to the top.
Caution:
Be sure to keep the product parallel to the floor when installing the chassis. Tilting the product up or down
could result in damage to the slides.
Caution:
Hewlett Packard Enterprise has not tested or validated this chassis with any third-party racks. Before
installing the chassis in a third-party rack, be sure to properly scope the limitations of the rack. Before
proceeding with the installation, consider the following:
• You must fully understand the static and dynamic load carrying capacity of the rack and be sure that it
can accommodate the weight of the chassis.
• Be sure sufficient clearance exists for cabling, installation and removal of the chassis, and actuation of
the rack doors.
IMPORTANT: When installing each chassis into the rack, be sure that the HPE Apollo Platform Manager is
at the top of the chassis to ensure proper orientation in the rack. Start installing the chassis at the lowest
available U space in the rack. Work up from the bottom of the rack to add additional chassis.
Procedure overview
This procedure provides the high-level steps for installing chassis in a rack. For detailed instructions, refer to the
