About this guide
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the rack and equipment, the
racks must be positioned and secured together according to these instructions. Failure to do so
could result in an unstable installation.
WARNING: Components can be very heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to
the equipment:
• Remove all pluggable power supplies and modules to reduce the weight of the product before
lifting it.
• Observe local occupational health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual
material handling.
• Get help to lift and stabilize the product during installation or removal, especially when the
product is not fastened to the rails. When the component weighs more than 22.5 kg (50 lb),
at least two people must lift the component into the rack together. If the component is loaded
into the rack above chest level, a third person must assist in aligning the rails while the other
two support the component.
• Use caution when installing the component in or removing the component from the rack; it is
unstable when not fastened to the rails.
NOTE: National electrical regulations governing the installation of building wiring require that
an appropriate cable, meeting fire-safety standards, must be used any time cabling is routed:
• Through an overhead drop-ceiling
• Under raised flooring
• From room to room
• From floor to floor
Be sure that the cable jacket or sleeving is made of material that does not burn easily and does not
exude toxic fumes when exposed to heat. Be sure that the cable you have selected is appropriate
for your installation site. If you require a U.S. plenum-rated (CL2P) cable, contact your local HP
authorized reseller to obtain any of the following options:
• 149363-B21-20-foot plenum cable
• 149364-B21-40-foot plenum cable
• Rack baying option kits—The number of baying kits needed to join a series of racks is one less than the
number of racks in the suite. Each baying kit supplies parts to bay two cabinets on 600 mm (24 in)
center line spacing.
• Side panels—Only one set of side panels is required for each row of bayed racks.
• Stabilizer kit—A stabilizer kit is either required or recommended, depending on your rack
configuration. There are four stabilizer kit options.
o The standard 600-mm (23.6 in) or 800-mm (31.5 in) front foot is required with deployments of
stand-alone racks. Rack rows with four or more bayed racks, without a single rack-mountable
component exceeding 99.8 kg (220 lb), do not need a stabilizer kit installed.
o The heavy duty 600-mm (23.6 in) or 800-mm (31.5 in) front foot is required when a single
rack-mountable component weighing 99.8 kg (220 lb) or more is installed in a stand-alone rack or
in a rack belonging to a rack row of three or fewer bayed racks.

assembly and into the cage nut holes on top the side assemblies (2).
3. Tighten and lock both draw-latch straps to hold the upper duct in place (1).
4. To lock the air duct in the raised position:
a. Mark through the pre-drilled hole on the upper duct, so you know where the hole should be on the
lower duct.
Baying options
You can order the HP Baying Rack Option Kit to bay your HP 10000 G2 Rack Air Duct rack to another HP
10000 G2 Rack Air Duct rack. You cannot bay an HP 10000 G2 Rack Air Duct rack to a standard rack.
You must install the included gaskets to your HP 10000 G2 Rack Air Duct rack prior to baying, to ensure that
the air continues to be channeled up the air duct and not out the sides of the bayed rack.
To install the gasket strips to your rack:
1. Remove the liner backing from each of the four gasket strips.
2. Attach the two 876-mm gasket strips to the top and bottom frames of the side of the rack.
3. Attach the two 1875-mm gasket strips to the front and rear frames of the side of the rack.
