3 Installation
This section contains detailed instructions for installing an HP NetServer LPr in
certain models of Compaq rack enclosures.
Preparation
Before beginning the installation of the NetServer into the rack, you must prepare
the rack and the NetServer.
Determine the location at which the NetServer is to be installed in the rack
enclosure. Mark the bottom and top of this location on the rack columns. The
HP NetServer LPr measures 2 EIA units tall.
Marking the Installation Holes
First mark one hole on each of the four columns to use for the rack nuts and screws
that hold the rail to the column. Then mark two holes on each of the front columns
only to use for securing the NetServer to the rack enclosure.
When marking the holes, mark the outer surface of the column (see
Figure 3-1); on the front columns, this is the column surface facing forward; on
the rear columns, this is the surface facing rearward. Use tape or a marker pen to
mark the appropriate holes on each column.
A rack template which is marked with the appropriate holes is provided with this
NetServer. You may use this rack template to show you where to mark the holes
on the rack columns, or if you do not wish to use the template, you can simply
mark the appropriate holes as indicated in Figure 3-1.
To mark the rail mounting holes (refer to Figure 3-1), on each columns, count up
from the top of the unit below marking the third hole.
