The Installing Rack Products video provides a visual overview of operations 
required for configuring a rack with rack-mountable components. It also 
provides the following important configuration steps: 

− 

Planning the site 

− 

Installing rack servers and rack options 

− 

Cabling servers in a rack 

− 

Coupling multiple racks 

The Rack Products Documentation CD enables you to view, search, and print 
documentation for HP and Compaq branded racks and rack options. It also 
helps you set up and optimize a rack in a manner that best fits your 
environment. 

If you intend to deploy and configure multiple servers in a single rack, refer to 
the white paper on high-density deployment on the HP website 
(
