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.
