Audience Assumptions

This poster provides a quick way for customers experienced in
server installations to setup and configure the NAS 9000s server.
The following instructions are written for persons who are
qualified in installing and servicing computer equipment and are
trained in recognizing hazards in products with high-energy
levels, such as the power supplies, System Power Modules, and
redundant line cord switches in this computer system. For
detailed instructions, refer to the setup and installation guide.

1. Selecting the Optimum Environment

3. Installing Options

Select an installation site that meets the following requirements:

■ Space and airflow

■ Temperature

■ Power

■ Grounding

Detailed installation site requirements for this server are listed in
the setup and installation guide. For guidance in placing servers
and components into a rack, refer to the rack template or the
setup and installation guide.

2. Unpacking the Shipping Boxes

Unpack the server by following the instructions and illustrations
printed on the outside of the boxes. Also unpack the power cords,
rack mounting hardware, and the hardware documentation,
reference information, and software packs that are located in the
country kit box.

In addition to these items, you may need:

■ Torx T-15 tool, which is located on the rear of the server

■ Phillips screwdriver

■ Options to be installed, such as expansion boards, monitors,

power supplies, processors, processor power modules
(PPMs), and memory modules

■ Application software

■ Flat-blade screwdriver

■ Felt-tip marker or pencil

If you are installing additional options, such as expansion boards,
processors, PPMs, hard drives, or memory, you can refer to the
instructions included with the option purchase, the back of this
poster, or the setup and installation guide.

Note: For quick start memory guidelines, refer to the flowchart and

other information located on the back of this poster.

Note: Save the packing material for reuse if you need to ship the

server in the future.

Note: Protect the server from power fluctuations and temporary

interruptions with a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
This device protects the hardware from damage caused by power
surges and voltage spikes, and keeps the system in operation during a
power failure. For more information on UPS and other options, refer to
the HP website:

4. Installing the Server into a Rack

To identify the required space and location for the server with the
template:

1. Identify the front side of the template.

2. Starting at the bottom of the rack or at the top of a previously
mounted component, secure the template against the front of
the rack by pressing the two push tabs. Match the hole pattern
on the template with the holes in the vertical rails of the rack.

3. Align the template so that the sides of the template are even
with the sides of the rack. Tick marks on the vertical rails of
the rack help you maintain the proper alignment.

7. Install the rails on both sides of the chassis.

Note: Tick marks on the rack’s vertical posts mark off U-spaces in the

rack configuration and help to maintain the proper alignment

4. Using a pencil, mark the locations on the rack where you
insert the rack rail tabs (1).

5. On the rack, mark the top and the bottom edges of the
template (2). This step helps you align a template for the next
component.

6. Move to the rear of the rack and turn the template over so you
can use the backside of the template. Repeat steps 2 through 5
on the rear of the rack.

8. Pull the rail compression lever towards you.

9. Install the rear of the rail into the designated holes in the rear
of the rack.

Note: On the rear of the rack, make the pencil marks on the inside of

the vertical rails. These markings guide you in installing rack rails into
the interior of the rack frame.
