For information on additional qualified 3rd party cabinets and rail kits, contact the nearest Hewlett-Packard Response Center.

Identifying Approved Non-E-Series HP Cabinets

Approved Non- E-Series cabinets have black frames, one piece outside sheet metal skins, a partial return flange, and requires the installation of the aluminum spacer blocks, supplied with the rail kits.

Approved Non- E-Series cabinets include the following product numbers: A1883A, A1884A, A1896A, A1897A, C1897A, C2785A, C2786A, and C2787A.

Identifying E-Series HP Cabinets

E-Series cabinets have light gray frames, sectioned, plastic outside “skins”, a full return flange, and does not require the installation of the aluminum spacer block supplied, with the rail kits.

E-Series cabinets include the following product numbers: A5134A, A5136A, A5136A, A4900A, A4901A, A4902A, J1500A, J1502A, and J1502A.

Identifying Static Rail Kit

Hewlett-Packard has currently approved two static rail kits for use in cabinet mounting the rp54xx Server. They are illustrated below.

Installing Stationary Rails

The installation of stationary rails is similar for most cabinet and rail combinations.

The key considerations are:

  • Ensure that all safety precautions are read, understood, and observed

  • Follow all installation instructions provided with the cabinet and rail kits, and

  • Ensure that the rails extend out from the cabinet posts sufficiently to properly and safely support the equipment being installed.

To install an rp54xx Server on stationary rails in an approved cabinet proceed as follows:

  1. Locate the rail mounting height in the cabinet. Allow for the following space requirements:

    • For each rp54xx Server, allow 31.8cm (12.5 inches) vertically (7 EIAs or Rack Units (RUs).

    • If installing the A5575A rail kit, allow an additional vertical 4.45cm (1.75 inches (1 EIA) each set of rails.

  2. Install sheet metal nut(s) in the vertical cabinet posts at the required height for the kit being installed:

    • Install the first nut either:

      • 4.45 cm (1.75 Inches) above the top, or

      • 31.8 cm (12.5 inches) below the bottom of the last server.

    • If installing a A5562A rail kit, install the second nut in the next frame hole below the first.

  3. Hold the rail in place and insert and tighten the screws.

For installation of other qualified cabinet and rail combinations refer to the safety precautions and instructions accompanying them.
