Installing the enclosure
WARNING: Because the fully-populated enclosure
can weigh up to 217.7 kg (480 lb), remove all
components and the rear cage from the enclosure
before removing the enclosure from the pallet to
reduce the risk of personal injury when moving the
enclosure.
CAUTION: When removing the rear cage and
midplane assembly, the connectors on the midplane
assembly are susceptible to damage. Use caution to
avoid damage to the pins and connectors.
CAUTION: Be sure the hinges are completely open
before installing the rear 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 c7000
Enclosure Setup and Installation Guide.
3. (Optional) Install the enclosure into a rack. See the HP
BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure Rack Template. For rack-
free installations, omit this step.
