1 Introduction
This document describes how to mount an HP NetServer LT 6000r into
third-pa rty racks. Refer to the HP NetServer LT 6000r User Guide that came
with the HP NetServer for instructions on adding accessories to, and configuring
the HP NetServer.
If you have an HP Rack System/E, HP Rack System /U or an older HP Rack

Installation Basics – Safety Precautions
CAUTION If this HP NetServer is not installed according to these
instructions, damage to the HP NetServer or accessories may
result. The HP Warranty does not cover damage due to
improper installation. Observe the precautions listed in this
section to maintain HP NetServer reliability.
Always follow these safety and environmental rules when installing an
HP NetServer in a t hird-party rack enclosure:
• The maximum recommended ambient operating temperature for the
o
server is 35
either in the server room or inside the multi-unit rack enclosure.
C. This ambient operating temperature must not be exceeded
• The airflow through the rack must be sufficient for safe operation.
• Uneven mechan ical loa d ing of ser vers in the r ack can cause th e rack t o
tip. Plan the placement of equipment in the rack. Mount the heaviest
components in the bottom of the rack, and mount all components as low
in the rack as is practical.
• Make sure that the total equipment configuration in a rack does not
overloads the power supply circuit. Check the power ratings on the
nameplates of all equipment. Consider the effect of circuit overloading on
the overcurrent protection and supply wiring.

Mounting
Introduction
This chapter describes how to prepare the HP NetServer and t hird-party rack for
rack mounting.
Prepare the Rack
Before mounting the server, plan the server’s location in the rack relative to the
other rack components. Proper placement is vital for safety and operating
efficiency. For more details, see the Rack Installation Road Map and the HP
NetServer Rack Assembly and Cabling Reference Guid e.
NOTE Mounting the HP NetServer LT 6000r into a third-party rack
may not be the final step in the installation procedure. If the
server is completely configured by the vendor before delivery
to the customer, then mounting the server in th e rack may be
the last step. If the vendor configures the server at the
customer’s site, installation of the network operating system
(NOS) and other software might occur after t he HP NetServer
is mounted in the rack.
