Server Operations Extending the Server from the Rack 1. Extend the server on the rack rails until the server rail-release latches engage. Figure 2-1: Extending the server from the rack 2. Reverse the steps to restore the server to operating position.
CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. Properly ground yourself before beginning any installation procedure. 1. Power down the server. Refer to the “Powering Down the Server” section earlier in this chapter. 2. Extend the server from the rack. Refer to the “Extending the Server from the Rack”...
Optional Installation Services You may choose to have HP install the system. The installation service can be purchased as a Care Pack packaged service or as a customized service agreement to meet your specific requirements. Some of the Care Pack services are as follows:...
— Coupling multiple racks The Rack Products Documentation CD enables you to view, search, and print documentation for HP racks and rack options. It also helps you set up and optimize a rack in a manner that best fits your environment.
HP servers draw in cool air through the front door and expel warm air through the rear door. Therefore, the front and rear rack doors must be adequately ventilated to allow ambient room air to enter the cabinet, and the rear door must be adequately ventilated to enable the warm air to escape from the cabinet.
Because of the high ground leakage currents associated with multiple servers connected to the same power source, HP recommends the use of a power distribution unit (PDU) that is either permanently wired to the branch circuit of the building or includes a nondetachable cord that is wired to an industrial-style plug.
Server Shipping Contents Unpack the server-shipping carton and locate the materials and documentation necessary for installing the server. All the rack-mounting hardware necessary for installing the server into the rack is included with the rack or the server. The contents of the server-shipping carton include:...
Bag of screws Installing the Server into the Rack If you are installing the server into a telco rack, order the appropriate option kit at the RackSolutions.com website. Follow the server specific instructions on the website to install the rack brackets. After installing the brackets, follow the steps in this section.

NOTE: The ROM sets the processing frequency during the Power-On Self-Test (POST). Memory Options The server provides double data rate (DDR) synchronous dynamic RAM (SDRAM) that can improve memory clock speed to at least 333 MHz. It activates output on both the rising and falling edge of the system clock rather than on just the rising edge, potentially doubling output.
