The following describes how to install the A5556A slide-tray assembly into an approved HP cabinet in preparation for installing an rp54xx Server.

This slide-tray assembly can be installed in an HP E-Series cabinet or other HP cabinets approved for rp54xx system installation. To install the A5556A slide-tray assembly in an approved HP equipment cabinet, proceed as follows:

  1. Determine what type of cabinet you are installing the slide-tray assembly into.

    1. E-Series cabinets have:

      • Parchment white, plastic, sectional, side panels

      • Black painted vertical frame posts with a partial return flange

    2. Approved, non-E-Series, cabinets have:

      • Single piece metal side panels

      • Gray painted vertical frame posts with full return flanges

  2. Note the vertical, rectangular, slots in the return flanges on the vertical mounting posts. Determine into which of these vertical slots the slide/tray kit will be installed. This is done by counting down eight rectangular slots from the top of the cabinet or the bottom of the equipment above.

  3. On the front vertical mounting posts only, slide M5 sheet metal nuts onto the posts over the holes immediately adjacent to the vertical slots determined in the previous step. Also place M5 sheet metal nuts on the holes directly above these. Orient the sheet metal nuts so that the threaded portion faces towards the outside of the cabinet. There should now be a total of four (4) sheet metal nuts installed.

  4. If the cabinet is a non-E-Series cabinet, discard the left hand and right hand aluminum spacers and two of the M5 x 16 screws with cress-cup washers and proceed to step 12.

  5. If the cabinet is an E-Series cabinet, place the hook of the aluminum spacer marked “L” (5183-1864) into the appropriate vertical, rectangular slot on the front, left hand mounting post. The hook points downward. Similarly, place the spacer marked “R” (5183-1863) into the appropriate slot on the right hand mounting post.

  6. Use one M5 x 16 screw with cress-cup washer to attach each spacer to its vertical post. Do this by inserting the screw through the top hole in the spacer, through the mounting rail and tightening it into the sheet metal nut located at that position.

  7. Take the left hand slide/bracket assembly (marked 337079-1L) and install it into the left hand vertical mounting posts. This is done by inserting the pin at the rear of the slide's mounting bracket into the 23rd hole in the rear vertical mounting post and inserting the hook at the front of the bracket into the vertical, rectangular slot in the aluminum spacer. The slide should be positioned in the cabinet so that it is horizontal and level.

  8. Securely fasten the rear of the slide's mounting bracket to the rear vertical mounting post by installing and tightening two of the M5 x 16 screws with cress-cup washers thorough the mounting post, through the slides mounting bracket and into the threaded nuts attached to the mounting bracket.

  9. Fully extend the slide so that it is locked in the fully open position.

  10. Use an M5 x 30 screw with a cress cup washer to attach the front of the slide to the vertical mounting post. Insert the screw through the slide, through the center hole of the aluminum spacer, through the vertical mounting post, and tighten into the sheet metal nut located at that position.

  11. Use a procedure similar to steps 7 through 10 to install the right hand slide/bracket assembly (marked 337079-1R) and then proceed to step 12.

  12. Take the tray and place it onto the pins that extend from the slides' inner members. The slots with wide lead-in guides on the side of the tray fit down onto the slides' pins. The flat part of the tray will be on top, and the mounting holes in the top of the tray will be located to the right of the center of the tray. Slide the tray all the way down on both sides so that the pins reach the top of the slots in the side of the tray.

  13. Use six, M5 x 12 screws (without washers) to attach the tray to the slides. Three screws are used to attach each slide. Insert the screws through the slides, through the tray and tighten into the threaded nuts located on the inside of the sides of the tray.

  14. From the bottom of the tray pull the plunger pin down and give it a 1/4 turn to hold it in place.

  15. Position the server on the tray aligning the plunger pins with the alignment holes in the chassis.

  16. Release the plunger pins to secure the server.
