Rack warnings

WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal injury or

damage to the equipment, be sure that:

• The leveling jacks are extended to the floor.

• The full weight of the rack rests on the

leveling jacks.

• The stabilizing feet are attached to the rack

if it is a single-rack installation.

• The racks are coupled together in multiple-

rack installations.

• Only one component is extended at a time.

A rack may become unstable if more than one component is extended for any reason.

WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal injury or

equipment damage when unloading a rack:

• At least two people are needed to safely

unload the rack from the pallet. An empty 42U rack can weigh as much as 115 kg (253 lb), can stand more than 2.1 m (7 ft) tall, and may become unstable when being moved on its casters.

• Never stand in front of the rack when it is

rolling down the ramp from the pallet. Always handle the rack from both sides.

Installing enclosure into a rack

NOTE: When installing servers, HP recommends installing

all enclosures at the bottom of the rack. To optimize cabling access, avoid interleaving the enclosure and server products.

1. Secure the front end of the rails to the rack. IMPORTANT: Do not remove the pins from the ends of the

rack rails unless you are converting the rails for use in round-hole racks. These load-bearing pins are designed to fit through the holes without being removed.

IMPORTANT: Be sure that the scissor-type locking latches

engage the rack fully when the pins extend through the holes marked with the template.

NOTE: Identify the left (L) and right (R) rack rails by

markings stamped into the sheet metal.

2. Secure the back end of the rails to the rack.

• MSA70 Enclosure

• Rack mounting hardware kit

• Power cords (2)

• SAS cable

• Documentation kit

Installing options

Install any hard drives and hardware options before powering up the enclosure. For complete information on installing hard drives and options, see the user guide.

3. Slide the chassis into the rack.

4. Use the thumbscrews on the front of the chassis to secure it

to the rack.
