Take appropriate lifting precautions when moving it. Get help when removing or replacing an LPr towards the top of a 2 meter rack. Compare the order documents to the packing list or to a list of boxes received.
- Page 8 Chapter 1 About This Cabling Reference Unpack Rack Enclosures and Hardware, and Remove the Shipping Panels, Doors, and Side Panels (If applicable) WARNING Use care in moving the rack down from the pallet. Three people are required for this step. 1.
- Page 9 Chapter 1 About This Cabling Reference Unpack Remaining Components Unpack each component in the order in which you assemble them (from the bottom of the rack upward). Each package contains rack installation instructions or a user guide. NOTE If an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is included, plug it in as soon as you unbox it.
- Page 10 Chapter 1 About This Cabling Reference NOTE HP Rack System product numbers J1487B, J1487B option AXH, and J1488A require door hardware to be in place before mounting components. If you are using front or rear doors, be sure the hinge and latch hardware is mounted before putting on any other hardware.
- Page 11 Chapter 1 About This Cabling Reference You can also use the HP NetServer rack configuration tools (for instance, HP Rack Assistant) to make ordering easier and to automatically check that orders are complete. These tools can be found on the HP web site. Use a Web browser to go to the following URL: http://www.hp.com/go/netserver Then use the Search function with the words: "rack configuration tools."...
- Page 12 Chapter 1 About This Cabling Reference CAUTION Tip-over hazard exists. Servers are heavy and may be awkward to position on their mounting rails. Therefore, always minimize the weight to be mounted into the rack by removing power supplies modules and hard disk modules from the NetServer.

If mounted vertically, the PDU spans 11 EIA units. In this position, it cannot be placed beside (in the same EIA units as) the LXr Pro8 because receptacles will be covered.
- Page 29 Chapter 2 Connecting and Routing Cables to the HP NetServer LPr Installation Steps To mount a PDU vertically, follow these steps: 1. Locate the PDU on the side of the rack opposite the cable guide(s). Avoid the door latch near the center of the rack. The receptacles of the PDU should face inward, not rearward.
