Handling and Installation
Unpacking
Unpack your server carefully onto a clean and level surface and examine it for any signs of
transit damage. Contact your supplier immediately if anything appears to be damaged, or any
parts missing. Please retain all packaging in case of future need to return a server.
Lifting
The weight is stated below and on the server’s product label. R-Series 10 require a two-person
lift, especially when manoeuvring into a rack. Observe your internal manual handling
recommendations to avoid injury.
Rack mounting
The fascia panel must be removed before mounting. Remove the two small retaining screws
bottom left and right, and then pull the fascia away. Refit the fascia after mounting.
3U units are supplied with rack mount slide rails and fixings, installation instructions are
included with the slide rails.
Ensure that each server is properly secured to the rack cabinet.
Rack stability warnings:
•Ensure the rack is stable (e.g. bolted to the floor) before sliding out the server.
•Do not place objects on equipment projecting from a rack (e.g. do not use as a shelf).
•Only slide out one piece of equipment from the rack at a time.

Environment
General
R-Series 10 units are intended for use in a commercial (not domestic) environment and should
be operated in a clean, dust free area (e.g. a server room).
The server is intended for operation in benign environments; that is, not subject to corrosive or
explosive atmospheres, moisture or flammable gases. The server is non-protected against
ingress of liquid (IPx0). The server is not designed to be subject to excessive mechanical
shock or vibration.
This equipment is not suitable for use in locations where children are likely to be present.
Only used at altitude
not exceeding 2000
m
Only used in not
-tropical
climate regions
Thermal
Do not block any of the server’s air vents and ensure the ambient temperature around the
server is compatible with the environmental characteristics stated below.
Particularly when mounted in a rack cabinet with front or rear doors the ambient temperature
around the unit may be higher than the ambient room temperature.
Electrical
Before connecting power to the unit, ensure the electricity supply is compatible with the
electrical ratings shown here and on the product label. The server shall not be connected to an
IT (unearthed neutral) power distribution system and the mains socket-outlet used shall
connect to the building installation ground.
The server is connected to and disconnected from the mains supply with the IEC 60320 power
connectors on the rear of the unit. Both of the dual redundant PSUs should be connected when
the server is in use.
Connecting External Equipment
To ensure best performance from the server and compliance with relevant EMC regulations, this
equipment should only be used with high-quality shielded data and signal cables.
Only equipment and accessories approved to IEC 60950-1 and SELV circuits may be
connected to the server. All equipment and accessories shall comply to the relevant standard
for the server’s port to which it is connected.
Maintenance
Air Filters
A user-serviceable air filter is located behind the server’s front fascia. It is important to remove
and clean or replace the filter periodically to avoid overheating. To remove the fascia first
remove the two small screws bottom left and right, and then pull the fascia away. R-Series 10
servers are supplied with spare filter pads. Others can be provided by your supplier.
Replace the fascia and secure with the two screws. Servers should not be run without filters,
since accumulations of dust inside the server can affect performance.
Cleaning
External casing and the front panel should be carefully wiped with a soft cloth and antistatic
solution.
Server internal maintenance
Internal maintenance must only be undertaken by suitable qualified service personnel.
Warning: Do not operate the unit with any covers removed as the air flow through the
unit may be compromised leading to overheating.
Warning: Motherboard CMOS battery replacement: Danger of explosion if incorrect battery
used or battery incorrectly installed. Contact your supplier for further instructions.
Any alterations to the product’s specification, including additional/alternative
components, BIOS changes, overclocking, etc., may invalidate the warranty or impact
the server’s performance. Additionally, such changes or modifications could cause equipment
no longer to comply with the relevant EMC regulations, and void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment. If in doubt, please contact your supplier.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD)
When handling electronic assemblies, take precautions to avoid electrostatic discharge (ESD)
causing damage. Precautions should include the wearing of an ESD protective wrist strap and
using antistatic bags for electronic assemblies when not installed in a server.
PSU removal
R-Series 10 Servers are fitted with dual redundant removable power supply units (PSUs).
These can be replaced only with exactly matched units, as follows:
•To remove: Power down the server. Remove both IEC 60320 power connectors from the
server’s PSUs. Press the appropriate PSU’s release tab inwards and pull the handle to slide
the power supply out of the server.
•To replace: Slide the replacement power supply into the server and push firmly until it is
fully clicks home. Refit the IEC 60320 power connectors and power on the server.
Warning: The IEC 60320 power connector should never be inserted into the PSU
when the withdrawn PSU is not fitted in a server.
