c. Remove all drives ("Removing the drive" on page 35).
NOTE: If planning to install the HPE Smart Storage Battery or redundant fan option, install
these options into the chassis before installing the chassis into the rack.
NOTE: Install the chassis into the rack before installing drives, power supplies, the RCM
module, or nodes.
3. Install any hardware options into the chassis and nodes ("Hardware options installation" on page
67).
4. Install the chassis into the rack ("Installing the chassis into the rack" on page 58).
5. Install all nodes, drives, and power supplies ("Chassis component installation" on page 60).
6. If planning to install an RCM module, install it now ("RCM module" on page 70).
7. Power up the chassis ("Powering up the chassis" on page 61).
8. Install an operating system ("Installing the operating system" on page 62).
9. Install the system software ("Installing the system software" on page 63).
10. Configure a power cap ("Power capping" on page 63).

Installing hardware options
Install any hardware options before initializing the server. For options installation information, see the
option documentation. For server-specific information, see "Hardware options installation (on page 67)."
Installing the chassis into the rack
Before installing the chassis into the rack, you must remove the nodes, the drives, and the power
supplies. Because a fully populated chassis is heavy, removing these components facilitates moving and
installing the chassis.
1. Prepare the chassis:
a. Remove the power supply (on page 34).
b. Remove the nodes ("Remove the node from the chassis" on page 32).
c. Remove all drives ("Removing the drive" on page 35).
2. If planning to install the Smart Storage Battery or redundant fan option, remove the chassis access
panel (on page 36).
o Installing the Smart Storage Battery ("Installing the HPE Smart Storage Battery" on page 97).
o Redundant fan option (on page 74).
3. Install the chassis access panel (on page 37).
WARNING: Always use at least two people to lift the chassis into the rack. If the chassis is
being loaded into the rack above chest level, a third person must assist with aligning the
chassis with the rails while the other two people support the weight of the chassis.
