1 Introduction

This document describes how to mount an HP NetServer LH 3r into a Compaq
model 4000- or 7000-series rack enclosure. Refer to the HP NetServer LH 3r
Road Map and the HP NetServer LH 3/3r User Guide that came with the
NetServer for instructions on adding accessories to and configuring the
NetServer.

The HP NetServer LH 3 (the pedestal version of this NetServer) cannot be
installed in a rack enclosure. If you want to convert an LH 3 to an LH 3r for
installation in a rack enclosure, contact your HP Reseller for information about
the available conversion kit (HP NetServer LH 3 Pedestal-to-Rack Conversion
Kit). The HP NetServer LH 3 and LH 3r are shown in Figure 1-1.

Chapter 1 Introduction

WARNING To prevent the rack from tipping over and causing equipment

damage or bodily injury, be sure that the stabilizing, anti-tip
feature is installed on this rack enclosure (see Figure 1-2).

WARNING To prevent the rack from tipping over and causing equipment

damage or bodily injury, do not extend more than one piece
of equipment at a time out of the front of the rack enclosure.

Be sure that the stabilizing, anti-tip feature is installed on the rack enclosure in
which you are installing the HP NetServer LH 3r. This option consists of two
"feet" at the front of the base of the enclosure and, if you are installing this
NetServer in a single rack enclosure, two "feet" each on the left and right sides of
the enclosure (see Figure 1-2).
