CAUTION:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. Be sure that you
are properly grounded (earthed) before beginning any installation procedure.
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.
Cabling guidelines
Before connecting scalable system cabling, observe all safety information and guidelines in product-specific
documentation. Also observe the following guidelines.
CAUTION:
When connecting devices, distribute the loads evenly to remain within the capability
of the extension bars.
CAUTION:
When routing cables, always be sure that the cables are not in a position where they
can be pinched or air flow can be blocked.
IMPORTANT:
Connect power cords by starting at the bottom inside power outlet, working up to
the top outside power outlet.
Installation overview for full-rack solutions
For ease of cabling, HP recommends a specific order for hardware installation and cable connections. You
can use portions of the procedure, depending on the hardware in your configuration.
The number of power components is based on the number of servers and the power supply configuration. For
more information, see "Power requirements and considerations."
For hardware-specific installation procedures, see the documentation that ships with each component.
To install hardware and connect cabling:
1.
Install PDUs.
2.
Install extension bars or power distribution cables.
For an example, see "mPDU and fixed-cord extension bar configuration (on page
34
)."
3.
Install two 1U network switches in the middle of the rack (21U and 22U):
o
For Ethernet switches, install the switch with connectors at the front of the rack.
