Sliding Shelf Installation for
HAFM Server
This chapter contains information on how to install the sliding shelf for the HAFM 
server in an appropriate HP, or comparable, 19-inch Electronic Industries Association 
(EIA) rack, as follows:
• hp 9000 series and hp 11000 series
• hp rack system/e or 19-inch EIA rack
NOTE:  The installation of the HAFM server sliding shelf is not supported in the m-series 
cabinet.
Installing the HAFM Server Sliding Shelf into a 
Supported Cabinet (Optional)
Use the following procedure, as shown in Figure 10–1, to install sliding shelf brackets 
for the HAFM server:
1. Select a U slot above the switch. (It is recommended to select the U slot 
immediately above the switch. However, other U slots above the switch may also 
be used.)
2. On each rack rear column, locate the hole (1) that is 2 holes up from the EIA 
number of the selected U slot (3).
3. Line up this hole with the threaded hole on the sliding shelf bracket's side.
4. Using a screw (2), attach bracket (5) to the rack.
5. Attach another screw (4) loosely in the hole on the inside face of the mounting 
bracket (5).
