how to install HPE G2 Rack 48U 1075 mm Side Panel Kit
- Begin by confirming the exact model and dimensions of your HPE G2 Rack cabinet to ensure compatibility with the 48U / 1075 mm depth specification.
- Shut down and unplug critical equipment if required by your internal policies, then follow your data-center safety protocols before handling rack components.
- Align the new side panel(s) with the rack’s mounting holes and rails, ensuring there is no contact with cables or accessories that could impede installation.
- Secure the panels using the included mounting hardware, starting with hand-tight screws to verify alignment and then tightening to the recommended torque with the appropriate screwdriver or torque driver. Avoid overtightening to prevent panel distortion.
- Check that the panels sit flush against the rack faces, confirm there is no binding against doors or removable rails, and inspect for any potential interference with cable managers or rear access.
- Reconnect power and data cables as needed, then perform a quick functional check to verify that front and rear access remains unobstructed and that airflow around the rack is unobstructed by the new panels.
