3 1 HP Server Mount Kit for 19 in. 2-Post Rack Installation Instructions Introduction This manual provides instructions for installation of the hp Integrity cx2600 server chassis in a 19 in. 2-column rack, with column widths of 3 to 9 inches. Cabinet Safety Precautions WARNING Ensure 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 Ensure that the rack has anti-tip measures in place. Such measures may include floor-bolting, anti-tip feet, ballast, or a combination of these measures as specified by the rack manufacturer and applicable codes. WARNING Be sure that adequate personnel are on hand to support the product(s) during the installation process. Use of the appropriate lifting device is recommended as an installation aid. WARNING Always load the rack from the bottom up. Load the heaviest items in the rack first. This makes the rack bottom-heavy and helps prevent the rack from becoming unstable. WARNING Do not overload the branch circuit that provides power to the rack. The total rack load should not exceed 80% of the branch circuit rating. Mounting Kit Contents This manual provides installation instructions for server mount kit AB292A. This kit is intended for use with the hp Integrity cx2600 server, and includes the following: Chassis Tray (Base) Two Rack Brackets Cable Management Strain Relief Bar Mounting Hardware (screws, washers, and nuts) Chapter 1 3

4 Mounting Options Mounting Options The server chassis can be mounted with the chassis front at the rack columns, or with the chassis centered between the rack columns. The front-mount option facilitates alignment of the chassis front panel with those of other items in the rack. (The tray provides adequate support to prevent unbalancing the rack or stressing the columns.) The center-mount option provides improved weight distribution for those installations where columns are already stressed. Figure 1-1 Mounting Options 2pmntopt Front Mount Center Mount The mounting holes in the chassis rack ears, together with the holes in the tray (base) and rack columns (approximately 1/4-inch centers) allow adjustment of the server mounting position, up to the practical limits of weight distribution. The server is supported in the tray (base) and held in position by eight screws (provided). 4 Chapter 1
