Installing the enclosure

WARNING: Because the fully-populated enclosure can

weigh up to 131.5 kg (290 lb), remove all components and the front cage from the enclosure before removing the enclosure from the pallet to reduce the risk of personal injury when moving the enclosure.

CAUTION: Do not touch or bump front cage connector

pins when installing the front cage into the enclosure.

CAUTION: Be sure the hinges are completely open

before installing the front cage into the enclosure. Failure to do so can cause damage to pins and connectors.

1. The enclosure can be installed in a rack or rack-free

environment. Select the proper location based on requirements detailed in the HP BladeSystem c3000 Enclosure Setup and Installation Guide.

2. With the enclosure still on the pallet, remove all components

from the front and rear of the enclosure, and then remove the front cage.
