Installing the Pedestal Kit Top and Bottom




	IMPORTANT: In this document the server top, bottom, right and left always refer to the server as faced from the front with the server in a horizontal orientation. The pedestal kit components are referred to by their final position with the server in a vertical orientation. For example, the pedestal kit bottom attaches to the server left side. See Figure 2-2 for the server and pedestal orientations.

The pedestal kit bottom attaches to the left side of the server when the server is in the horizontal position. The pedestal kit top attaches to the right side of the server when the server is in the horizontal position. The pedestal bottom may be distinguished from the pedestal top by the pedestal feet slots. The pedestal top for the HP Integrity rx2660 server contains windows through which server information, such as the MAC address, can be read. The pedestal top also has ventilation holes for air flow that match ventilation holes in the server chassis.




	NOTE: The bottom piece of the pedestal is taller than the server, so try to position the server so the left side (in the horizontal position) of the server hangs off the edge of the work surface by a few inches to allow the bottom piece to be attached to the server chassis. If that is not possible, then raise up the server approximately 3 inches from the work surface to allow the pedestal kit bottom piece to be attached to the server left side.

Follow these steps to attach the pedestal kit top and bottom.

Align the holes in the pedestal component with the posts on the server. See Figure 2-3.
NOTE: One of the holes in the pedestal component contains the locking mechanism. This makes the hole appear partially blocked.
Hold the pedestal component flush against the server.
Slide the pedestal component forward until it locks into place

Server

Stand the server up on the bottom piece of the pedestal kit that was just installed so the server is in the vertical position.




	CAUTION: The server is heavy. Be careful when lifting it to the vertical position. Without the feet installed, the server may tip over easily. Be careful when working near the server to avoid tipping it over.




	NOTE: The allen wrench may interfere with installing the pedestal kit top piece. Rotate the allen wrench away from the pedestal kit top piece to ensure it doesn't interfere with the installation.

Align the holes in the pedestal top piece with the posts on the server.
NOTE: One of the holes in the pedestal component contains the locking mechanism. This makes the hole appear partially blocked.
Hold the pedestal top piece flush against the server.
Slide the pedestal top piece forward until it locks into place.
The top and bottom pedestal kit pieces are now in place.
