CAUTION: Restricted Access Location
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
WARNING: Before performing the following procedure, review and follow
the safety instructions that came with the system.
Unpacking the System
Unpack your system and identify each item.
Installing the Tooled Rail Solution
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.

4Getting Started With Your System
1 Install the screw with the washer into the selected hole of the rail to set
the travel stop position.
WARNING: The travel stop position is intended for repositioning your grip
for system removal. It is not intended for service.
2 If the extension brackets (optional) prevent the installation of rails in the
rack, remove the extension bracket screws to remove the extension bracket.

Getting Started With Your System 5
3 Secure the rails to the front of the rack using two screws and to the back of
the rack using four screws.
4 Slide the system into the rack.
5 If present, remove the two chassis stabilizer shipping brackets (optional)
from the rack.
NOTE: To transport systems already installed in the rack, ensure that
the two chassis stabilizer shipping brackets (optional) are in place.

6Getting Started With Your System
6 Tighten the thumbscrews to secure the ears of the system to the front of
the rack.
Installing the Tool-Less Rail Solution
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.

Getting Started With Your System 7
1 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.
2 Repeat step 1 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.
3 Slide the system into the rack.

8Getting Started With Your System
4 If present, remove the chassis stabilizer shipping bracket (optional)
from the rack.
NOTE: To transport systems already installed in the rack, ensure that
the chassis stabilizer shipping bracket (optional) is in place.
5 Tighten the thumbscrews to secure the ears of system to the front
of the rack.

Getting Started With Your System 9
Optional – Connecting the Keyboard, Mouse, and Monitor
Connect the keyboard, mouse, and monitor (optional).
The connectors on the back of your system have icons indicating which cable
to plug into each connector. Be sure to tighten the screws (if any) on the
monitor's cable connector.
Connecting the Power Cable(s)
Connect the system’s power cable(s) to the system and, if a monitor is used,
connect the monitor’s power cable to the monitor. 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.

10 Getting Started With Your System
Turning On the System
Press the power button(s) either on the front or back of the system
and the monitor. The power indicators should light.

Getting Started With Your System 11
