Installing the shipping screws and brackets on a rack-installed server
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the internal system components to cool before touching them.
WARNING: This
server is very heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment:
- Observe local occupational health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual handling.
- Reduce the weight of the server by removing the drives and power input modules before installing or removing the server from the rack.
- Obtain adequate assistance to lift and stablize the server during installation or removal. Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that a minimum of two people are required for installing or removing the server from the rack. A third person might be required to help align the server if the server is installed higher than chest level.
- Use caution when installing or removing the server from the rack; it is unstable when not fastened to the rails.
If the server was originally delivered as a BTO shipment, perform the following steps. Before you perform this procedure, make sure that you have a T-15 Torx screwdriver available.
