NOTE:
Use the appropriate rack mounting hardware based on whether the rack has square, round, or threaded holes.
The side slide mounting brackets are stamped front left and front right. Ensure that the brackets are positioned
correctly (as viewed from the front of the rack).
3.
Align the server slide rails with the side slide mounting brackets and then insert the server into the rack until
the rails lock in place and the server is fully inserted into the rack.
Next steps
You can now connect the power cables to the server.
Connect the power cables
Procedure overview
Each system includes two, hot plug, 800W power supplies (AC), numbered PS1 and PS2, from right to left. You
connect both power supplies to power sources.
For high availability, you connect each power supply to a different circuit. You can also use redundant,
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems to protect against a complete power outage.
Procedure
1.
Obtain the two power cables from the shipping carton.
2.
Connect the power cables to power supply units on each system.
3.
Connect the other end of each power cable to a power source, preferably on different circuits.
4.
Use the cable strain relief on each power supply to secure the power cable and prevent an accidental
disconnection.
Connect the network cables
Procedure overview
The HPE SimpliVity 380 server provides 10 Gb and 1 Gb network interfaces for the HPE SimpliVity 380 Storage
and Management network traffic.
You can access the following network interfaces at the back of the server:
• 2-port 10 Gb interface (callout 1) used for HPE OmniStack Federation and Storage networks.
• Embedded 4-port 1 Gb interface (callout 2). You use ports 1 and 2 for the Management network. Ports 3 and 4
are available for guest virtual machine use.
