WARNING: If you are going to use a lift, be sure to use a lift
that can handle the load of the component.
Anti-tip stabilizer
The anti-tip stabilizers provide stability and support when
equipment is installed, removed, or accessed within the rack.
Stabilizer kits are available in both 600-mm and 800-mm versions.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise also recommends using the side feet,
provided with these kits, to stabilize standalone racks from the
other side. If you are stabilizing racks that are secured together
with baying kits, the side feet are optional on either end of the row.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that stabilizer option kits
be used when one or more of the following situations occur:
• The standard 600-mm (23.62-in) or 800-mm (31.50-in) front
foot is required with deployments of standalone racks.
• Side feet, which are included in the stabilizer kits, are
recommended to be installed as well.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage
to the equipment, you must adequately support the server
during installation and removal.
IMPORTANT: When installing the rack rails, be sure that
they are oriented Front Left and Front Right, as indicated on
the rails.
• Rack rail, left
• Rack rail, right
• Velcro straps (2)
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.
Rack rows with four or more bayed racks, without a single rackmountable component exceeding 99.79 kg (220 lb), do not need a
stabilizer kit installed.
Installation guidelines
This installation must be performed by qualified individuals who
are knowledgeable about the procedures, precautions, and hazards
associated with equipment containing hazardous electrical circuits.
WARNING: Be sure that the rack is level and stable before
working on the rack. Be sure the leveling jacks (feet) extend
to the floor and that the full weight of the rack rests firmly
on the floor.
WARNING: Be sure that the rack has anti-tip measures in
place. Such measures include floor-bolting, anti-tip feet,
ballast, or a combination as specified by the rack
manufacturer and applicable codes.
WARNING: Be sure that adequate personnel are on-hand to
support the products during the installation process.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that you use the
appropriate lifting device as an installation aid.
WARNING: Do not overload the branch circuit that provides
power to the rack. The total rack load must not exceed 80%
of the branch circuit rating.

Installing the product in a rack
Prerequisites
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or
equipment damage, do one of the following:
• Use two or more people to lift and stabilize the product
pieces during assembly.
• Use a lift that can handle the load of the product.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or
equipment damage, be sure that the rack is adequately
stabilized before installing the server.
CAUTION: Always plan the rack installation so that the
heaviest item is on the bottom of the rack. Install the
heaviest item first, and continue to populate the rack from
the bottom to the top.
CAUTION: Be sure to keep the product parallel to the floor
when installing the server. Tilting the product up or down
could result in damage to the slides.
The next step applies only to threaded-hole racks.
The installation of the rail kit is complete.
If the cable management arm is not installed, connect the velcro
strap included in this rail kit option to each rail, and secure the
cables in the strap.
