NOTE: A note indicates important information that will help a user make better use
of a computer system.
CAUTION: A caution indicates potential damage to hardware or loss of data is
instructions are not followed.
WARNING: A WARNING indicates a potential for property damage, personal
injury, or death.

Installation and Configuration 3
This server is intended for installation only in restricted access locations as
defined in Cl. 1.2.7.3 of IEC 60950-1: 2001 where both these conditions
apply:
• Access can only be gained by service persons or by users who have been
instructed about the reasons for the restrictions applied to the location and
about any precautions that shall be taken.
• Access is through the use of a tool or lock and key, or other means of
security, and is controlled by the authority responsible for the location.
Installation and Configuration
Unpacking the System
Unpack your system and identify each item.
Installing the Tool-Less Rail Solution
CAUTION: Restricted Access Location
WARNING: Before performing the following procedure, review and follow the
safety instructions that came with the system.
WARNING: Whenever you need to lift the system, get others to assist you.
To avoid injury, do not attempt to lift the system by yourself.
WARNING: The system is not fixed to the rack or mounted on the rails. To avoid
personal injury or damage to the system, you must adequately support the system
during installation and removal.
WARNING: To avoid a potential electrical shock hazard, a third wire safety
grounding conductor is necessary for the rack installation. The rack equipment
must provide sufficient airflow to the system to maintain proper cooling.
CAUTION: When installing rails in a square-hole rack it is important to ensure
that the square peg slides through the square holes.
CAUTION: Square studs must be flush with the rack posts to install properly.

4Installation and Configuration
1 Pull on the latch release buttons on the end piece midpoints to open the
rail latches.
2 Align the end pieces of the rails on the vertical rack flanges to seat the pegs
in the bottom hole of the first U and the top hole of the second U. Engage
the back end of the rail until the latch locks in place.
NOTE: The rails can be used in both square-hole and round-hole racks.

Installation and Configuration 5
3 Insert the cage nut on the rack.
4 Repeat steps 1 to 4 to position and seat the front end piece on the vertical
flange.
NOTE: To remove the rails, pull on the latch release button on the end piece
midpoint and unseat each rail.

6Installation and Configuration

.
2 Pull out the power supply unit handle.

Installation and Configuration 7
3 Press down on the release latch  .
4 Pull the power supply unit out of the system  .
5 Press the release latch down  and pull the sled out of the system  .

8Installation and Configuration
Install the System Into the Rack
1 Slide the system into the rack.
2 If present, remove the chassis stabilizer shipping bracket (optional) from
the rack.
3 Tighten the captive thumbscrews to secure the ears of the system to the
front of the rack.
4 Install the stopping bracket on the post and secure with M5 screws.
WARNING: Whenever you need to lift the system, get others to assist you.
To avoid injury, do not attempt to lift the system by yourself.
NOTE: To transport systems already installed in the rack, ensure that the two
chassis stabilizer shipping brackets (optional) are in place.
NOTE: Make sure the latch release mechanism is engaged correctly.

Installation and Configuration 9
Populate the System
1 Push the power supply unit into the system until flush with the case and
the release latch locks.
2 Close the power supply unit handle.

10 Installation and Configuration
3 Plug the chassis power cable into the power supply unit.
NOTE: The correct configuration of the integral chassis AC power cables to the
PSU sockets is as shown in the following illustration.
PSU1 PSU2

Installation and Configuration 11
4 Install the sleds. Push the sled into the system until flush with the case and
the release latch locks.
Connecting the Keyboard, Mouse, and Monitor
The connector on the front of your system has an icon indicating which cable
to plug in. Connect a keyboard, mouse, or monitor (optional).

12 Installation and Configuration
Connecting the Power Cables
1 On the back of the system, connect the mains power cable to the system’s
power socket.
2 Plug the other end of the power cables into a grounded electrical outlet or
a separate power source such as an uninterrupted power supply or a power
distribution unit.
Turning On the System
When connected to a power source the system automatically powers on.
See the Using the Baseboard Management Controller Guide at
support.dell.com/manuals.
NOTE: AC Port 1 provides power to PSU1, ACP Port 2 provides power to PSU2. See
Populate the System step 3 for further information.
