16 HP BladeSystem p-Class Enclosure Installation Guide
Measuring with the rack template
NOTE: A rack template is not provided with the 1U power supply
enclosure.
Rack templates ship with the bus bars and provide detailed instructions on where
to position bus bar hinges and enclosure rack rails. Each power supply enclosure
kit and server blade enclosure kit includes rack rails recommended for that
enclosure. The rack rails that ship with the HP BladeSystem 3U Power Enclosure
and HP BladeSystem p-Class Server Blade Enclosure are identical.
When installing multiple enclosures, install the rack rails for one enclosure, then
install the enclosure. Repeat for each additional enclosure.
Installing the rack rails and cage nuts
You must install two rack rails to support each enclosure. Rack rails have the
following features:
•
•
Adjustable depth of 60.96 cm to 91.44 cm (24 in to 36 in)
IMPORTANT: For proper bus bar installation and clearance, the rack
rail depth must be set from 73.66 cm to 76.20 cm (29 in to 30 in).
Depth indicator, visible in the middle of the rail
