WARNINGS

READ WARNINGS: Before operating this server, read the warnings

beginning on page 22.

AVOID INJURY: To avoid personal injury when unpacking the server,

use only a mechanical assist unit to lift it off the shipping pallet. The

minimum server configuration weighs 51 kg (113 lbs); the maximum

weighs 63.5 kg (140 lbs).

Do not attempt to lift or move the server by the handles on the power

supplies.

Use only a hand-truck or other mechanical assist unit to move the server

from one location to another.

WARNING

The push-button on/off power switch on the front panel of the server

does not turn off the AC power. To remove AC power from the server,

you must unplug the AC power cord from the server or wall outlet.

CAUTION, ESD precautions

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage disk drives, add-in boards, and

other parts. This server can withstand normal levels of environmental ESD.

However, we recommend doing all procedures in this guide only at an

ESD-protected workstation. If one is not available, you can provide some

ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to chassis

ground of the server—any unpainted metal surface—when handling

components.

CAUTION, use grounded outlet

Make sure that the power service connection is through a properly grounded

outlet.

The server operates reliably within normal office environmental limits. Select a site that meets

these criteria:

• Near a properly earthed, grounded, three-pronged power outlet

 In the United States and Canada: a NEMA 6-15R outlet for 200-240 V∼, or NEMA 5-15P

for the 15 amp/125 V.

 In other geographic areas: a properly earthed, grounded outlet in accordance with the local

electrical authorities and electrical code of the region.

• Clean and relatively free of excess dust.

• Well-ventilated and away from sources of heat, with the ventilating openings on the server kept

free of obstructions.

• Away from sources of vibration or physical shock.

• Isolated from strong electromagnetic fields and noise caused by electrical devices such as

elevators, copy machines, air conditioners, large fans, large electric motors, radio and TV

transmitters, and high-frequency security devices.

• Access space provided so the server power cords can be unplugged from the power supply or

the wall outlet; this is the only way to remove AC power from the server.

• Clearance provided for cooling and airflow.

SRPL8 Server System 7

Optional Slide Rail Kit

If the SRPL8 Server is to be rack mounted the slide rail kit should be installed as follows before

proceeding.

Equipment Rack Precautions

WARNINGS

ANCHOR THE EQUIPMENT RACK: The equipment rack must be anchored

to an unmovable support to prevent it from falling over when one or

more servers are extended in front of it on slide assemblies. The

anchors must be able to withstand a force of up to 113 kg (250 lbs). You

must also consider the weight of any other device installed in the rack.

MAIN AC POWER DISCONNECT: You are responsible for installing an

AC power disconnect for the entire rack unit. This main disconnect

must be readily accessible, and it must be labeled as controlling power

to the entire unit, not just to the server(s).

GROUNDING THE RACK INSTALLATION: To avoid the potential for an

electrical shock hazard, you must include a third wire safety grounding

conductor with the rack installation. If a server power cord is plugged

into an AC outlet that is part of the rack, then you must provide proper

grounding for the rack itself. If server power cords are plugged into

wall AC outlets, the safety grounding conductor in each power cord

provides proper grounding only for the server. You must provide

additional, proper grounding for the rack and other devices installed

in it.

CAUTIONS

Temperature: The operating temperature of the server, when installed in an

equipment rack, must not go below 5 °C (41 °F) or rise above 35 °C (95 °F).

Extreme fluctuations in temperature can cause a variety of problems in your

server.

Ventilation: The equipment rack must provide sufficient airflow to the

front of the server to maintain proper cooling. It must also include

ventilation sufficient to exhaust a maximum of 4,100 Btu's per hour for the

server. The rack selected and the ventilation provided must be suitable to

the environment in which the server will be used.

8 Quick Start Guide

Prepare the Slide Assemblies

1. Remove the slide assemblies from the kit.

2. Orient the slide assembly so that the arrow embossed on each rail assembly is facing toward

the front of the server as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2. Slide Rail Orientation

3. Secure each slide rail to the server using 3 of the 8-32 csink screws as shown in Figure 3.

Figure 3. Slide Rail Mounting Screws

4. Fully extend the telescoping slide assembly until the center bar hits the safety latch on the

small outer bar (all three overlapping bars will be visible).

5. Grasp the small outer bar (attached to the server) with your right hand so that your thumb is on

the safety latch of the small outer bar.

6. Press and hold the safety latch down (see Figure 4), and at the same time, grasp the large outer

bar with your left hand.

Figure 4. Small Rail Extension Release

7. Pull the small bar (attached to the server) out of the center bar; this takes a little force to

separate them. Set the small bar aside to attach to the rack in a later step.

8. Orient the center bar and large outer bar assembly so that the center bar is facing up.

9. Grasp the center bar with your right hand and the large outer bar with your left hand so that

your left-hand thumb is on the safety latch of the center bar.

Figure 5. Center Rail Extension Release

10. Press the safety latch, and separate the bars. Set the center bar and large outer bar assembly

aside to attach to the equipment rack in a later step.

11. Prepare the other slide assembly by repeating steps 2–10 above.

10 Quick Start Guide

Attach the Rail Slide Rail Brackets to the Equipment Rack

✏

NOTE

Mounting holes in the vertical rails of equipment racks are commonly spaced

in a 5/8 x 5/8 x 1/2-inch sequence. Perform the following steps carefully;

brackets must be mounted with precision to allow room for the next server

you install in a rack.

See Figure 6.

1. Remove a right-angle extension bracket, two screws, and a bar nut from the kit.

2. While facing the front or back of the rack, orient the right-angle extension bracket so that the

short side with the four mounting holes is facing toward the outside edge of the vertical rail.

3. Position the bracket behind the mounting holes in the vertical rail.

4. With a pencil, mark the top and bottom hole locations of the bracket on both sides of the

vertical rail; no hole numbers are printed on the rail.

5. Insert a screw through the marked top hole in the rail and through the top hole in the bracket.

Place a bar nut on the screw and loosely tighten it. Repeat for the marked bottom hole.

6. Install the three remaining right-angle extension brackets on the other three vertical rails by

repeating steps 1–5 above.

SRPL8 Server System 11

Attach the Center Bar and Large Outer Bar Assemblies to the

Equipment Rack

See Figure 7.

1. Orient a center bar and large outer bar assembly so that the flat side is facing toward the

brackets attached to the vertical rails and the safety latch on the center bar is near the back of

the rack.

2. Press the flat side of the outer bar into the U-shaped sections of the brackets.

3. Slide the assembly toward the front of the rack until the end of the outer bar is flush with the

end of the U-shaped section of the front bracket.

4. Gently slide the center bar toward the front of the rack, and position the oblong slot in it over

the first hole in the large outer bar. Insert a screw through the hole in the bar and the first hole

in the front bracket. Place a lock washer and a nut on the screw, and loosely tighten it.

5. Position the oblong slot in the center bar over the third hole back from the front of the large

outer bar. Insert an 8-32 screw through the hole and the oblong slot in the front bracket. Place

a lock washer and an 8-32 nut on the screw, and loosely tighten it.

6. The back bracket has two holes and three slots in it. This end of the outer bar has four holes in

it. Which holes and slots you use depend on the depth of the equipment rack. After fitting the

bar into the bracket, insert two screws through the holes in the bar and the appropriate oblong

slots in the bracket. Place a lock washer and a nut on each screw, and loosely tighten them.

7. Ensure that the brackets and bars are positioned correctly in the rack. Then tighten all screws

firmly (6.0 inch-pounds).
