2 Prepare the HP NetServer for Rack
Mounting

Introduction

This chapter describes how to prepare the HP NetServer and third-party rack for
rack mounting.

Prepare the Rack

Before mounting the server, plan the server's location in the rack relative to the
other rack components. Proper placement is vital for safety and operating
efficiency. For more details, see the Rack Installation Road Map and the HP
NetServer Rack Assembly and Cabling Reference Guide.
NOTE Mounting the HP NetServer LT 6000r into a third-party rack
may not be the final step in the installation procedure. If the
server is completely configured by the vendor before delivery
to the customer, then mounting the server in the rack may be
the last step. If the vendor configures the server at the
customer's site, installation of the network operating system
(NOS) and other software might occur after the HP NetServer
is mounted in the rack.
