About this device
The Ground Bonding kit reduces the electromagnetic emissions outside of the HP Advanced Series Racks and
Enterprise Series Racks. These emissions are produced during normal operation of the electronic components
within the rack. Typically, rack-mounted equipment must meet class A emissions levels, but you might want to
reduce these levels even further. Use this kit to tie all the conductive structural components together with
conductive cables, and then attach the kit to a ground bonding point on the AC power distribution device of
the rack or the building ground.

About this device
HP provides built-in location awareness in the new ProLiant servers, a capability that works hand-in-hand with
technology in the HP Advanced Series Racks and Enterprise Series Racks. Together these technologies
provide the rack identification number and precise U location of the servers. This information is
communicated through SIM, ICPM, and HP iPDUs.

8U modules)
WARNING: A risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment exists. Before installing the
LDS modules in a populated rack, be sure that the rack is stabilized in accordance with all product
and rack warnings. When installing the modules, you must partially extend one or more rack
mounted devices (up to 8U of devices) at a time. Only single devices that are mounted on slide
rails are intended to be fully extended from the rack and remain in a safe and upright position.
To reduce the risk of personal injury, damage to the equipment, or rack instability:
• Do not extend more devices than necessary to install a single 7U or 8U module. To prevent the
rack from becoming unstable, do not extend any device more than 9 cm (3.5 in) from the rack.
• If a device is mounted on non-slide, static rails and it must be extended more than 9 cm (3.5
in), remove the device completely from the rack. For more information about removing the
device from the rack, see the device installation instructions.
• If a device is secured to the rack and not mounted on rails, remove the device completely from
the rack.
For more information about extending devices from the rack, see Racking Best Practices on the
website (http://www.hp.com/go/infrastructure).
Location Discovery kit 77
Page 78
IMPORTANT: The modules mu
st be installed in the correct numerical order. The order number is
listed on the installation label, and the U location is listed on the pull tab.
Installing the modules
1. If there is a front-mounted device installed in the rack, extend the device to allow for module installation.
If there is a blanking panel installed in the rack, remove the panel.
For instructions on extending the device, see the specific device user guide.
For safety precautions, see "Precautions (on page 77)."
2. Install the modules in the correct numerical order beginning at the bottom of the rack. The installation
label on each module lists the numerical position within the rack.
3. After all the modules are installed, you can remove the installation labels from the modules.

About this device
The Stabilizer kit provides stability and support and prevents possible tipping when you install, remove, or
access equipment within the HP Advanced Series Racks and Enterprise Series Racks.
The stabilizer kit is either required or recommended, depending on your rack configuration. There are four
stabilizer kit options.
• The standard 600-mm (23.6 in) or 800-mm (31.5 in) front foot is required with deployments of
stand-alone racks. Rack rows with four or more bayed racks, without a single rack-mountable
component exceeding 99.8 kg (220 lb), do not need a stabilizer kit installed.
• The heavy duty 600-mm (23.6 in) front foot is required when a single rack-mountable component
weighing 99.8 kg (220 lb) or more is installed in a stand-alone rack or in a rack belonging to a rack
row of three or fewer bayed racks.
