Selecting a Site
Site selection and installation are explained fully in the Rack Planning and
Installation Guide for Rack-Mountable Compaq ProLiant Servers. Refer to
that guide for instructions on first-time installations or the installation of
additional servers.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the
equipment, be sure that the leveling feet are extended to the floor and
supporting the full weight of the rack. Each rack should be level and stable.
Racks that are not coupled together require the installation of stabilizing
feet. This must be accomplished before performing any work on the rack.
WARNING: Risk of personal injury. The rack may become unstable more
than one component is extended for any reason. Always ensure that the
rack is adequately stabilized before extending a component outside the
rack. Extend only one component at a time.
Opening the Rack
The front and rear doors of the standard 22U and 42U racks are secured by
handles with keyed locks. To open the door:
1. Push up the handle release cover.
2. Unlock the lock, if necessary.
3. Depress the handle release button (key hole button). The handle will
pop out as it unlatches; turn it clockwise to open the door.
