Installing the enclosure
WARNING: Because the fully-populated enclosure can
weigh up to 217.7 kg (480 lb), remove all components
and the rear cage from the enclosure before removing the
enclosure from the pallet to reduce the risk of personal
injury when moving the enclosure.
CAUTION: When removing the rear cage and midplane
assembly, the connectors on the midplane assembly are
susceptible to damage. Use caution to avoid damage to
the pins and connectors.
CAUTION: Be sure the hinges are completely open
before installing the rear cage into the enclosure. Failure to
do so can cause damage to pins and connectors.
1. The enclosure can be installed in a rack or rack-free environment.
Select the proper location based on requirements detailed in the
HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure Setup and Installation Guide.
2. Remove all components from the front and rear of the enclosure,
and then remove the rear cage.
3. (Optional) Install the enclosure into a rack. See the HP
BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure Rack Template. For rack-free
installations, omit this step.
