rack), and become familiar with the rack enclosure before installing the system hardware.
u Follow the instructions in Chapter 2 to unpack and set up the InterServe 650 or 660, and in
Chapter 3 to unpack and set up the StudioZ RAX.
u Ensure that all Intergraph equipment has the necessary mounting hardware and other associated
items as described in each section. If any items are missing, contact the local support office
immediately to obtain the missing items.
u Retain all packaging materials. To return equipment for repair, the customer must return it in the
original packaging to obtain warranty service (if provided by their contract agreement).
WARNING If using non-Intergraph cables with the system, ensure that they are shielded and terminated on
both ends.
Safety Precautions
InterServe and StudioZ RAX Base Unit
u The base unit is subject to high leakage current, and must be properly grounded. To assure proper
grounding, connect the base unit power cord only to the designated outlet on the AC distribution
box or Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).
u The base unit weighs 125 pounds (57 kg) without RAID disk drives. Two people must lift the base
unit when removing it from the pallet and installing it into the rack.
Intergraph 19-inch Rack
WARNING The Intergraph rack is intended for use only with Underwriter’s Laboratories Listed rack-
mountable accessories which meet the criteria below and are suitable for use in a 26 °C ambient
temperature.
u Fixed devices may not weigh more than 20 pounds (9.0 kg) per vertical U (1.75 inches). The
center of gravity of fixed devices must not be deeper than 15.0 inches (38.1 cm) inside the rack.
u Slide rail devices (between 5 U and 11 U) may not weigh more than 13.6 pounds (6.2 kg) per U.
These devices may not be extended more than 31.5 inches (78.8 cm) and their center of gravity
must not extend beyond 16.5 inches (49.1 cm).
u Slide rail devices (less than 5 U) may not weight more than 20 pounds (9.0 kg) per U. These
devices may not be extended more than 24 inches (61 cm) and their center of gravity must not
extend beyond 13 inches (33 cm).
u If more than one slide rail device is installed, only one device may be extended at a time. Should
you need access to a device while another is extended, push the extended device back into the rack
before extending the next device.
WARNING Extending more than one device at a time could cause the rack to fall forward, causing damage
to the equipment and injuring anyone standing in front of the rack.

2
u Do not push on or lean against the rack. The front and side stabilizer feet must be extended at all
times.
u Install bottom components into the rack first.
Power Requirements
This section provides information about the power requirements of the AC distribution box supplied by
Intergraph with some systems. Intergraph provides separate AC distribution boxes for domestic and
non-domestic use. This section describes the specifications and functionality of both types.
NOTE If the cutomer purchased a UPS instead of an AC distribution box, refer to the documentation delivered
with the UPS for power information.
Domestic AC Distribution Box
Specifications for the domestic AC distribution box include:
u AC input: 110/220 VAC 60 Hz, 16 Amperes
u Receptacles: eight NEMA 5-15R and one NEMA 6-15R
u Power cable: 9 feet, 12 AWG, 4 conductor with NEMA L14-20P plug
u Output rating: 1760 VA/phase @ 110 VAC, 3520 VA total
The domestic AC distribution box is rated for a maximum output rating of 3520 VA (Volt-Amperes) at
110 VAC. The sum-total VA load that the devices pull must not exceed this maximum, else a breaker
in the AC distribution box trips when power is applied. A second AC distribution box must be installed
to provide the additional power requirement. The following figure shows the domestic AC distribution
box.
Each receptacle on the AC distribution box is rated for a specific VA. The 6-15R receptacle (J9) is
used for the power cord to the server. The remaining eight receptacles (110 V each) are for additional
devices installed in the rack. Notice that the left four (J1-J4) and right four (J5-J8) are on different
phases. Follow these guidelines when connecting equipment power cords:
u If the NEMA 6-15R receptacle (J9) is not used, then the eight NEMA 5-15R receptacles can
support the full 3520 VA load (1760 VA per phase).
u If the NEMA 6-15R receptacle (J9) is used, then the eight NEMA 5-15R receptacles can support
1760 VA load (880 VA per phase).

3
u The power load should be balanced between the phases of the 110 VAC receptacles. For example,
do not plug four 110 VAC 2 Amp devices into phase I; instead, plug two of the devices into the
phase I and two into phase II.
WARNING The wall outlet to which the AC distribution box is connected must be a NEMA L14-20R type
outlet on a properly grounded branch circuit.
Non-Domestic AC Distribution Box
Specifications for the non-domestic AC distribution box include:
u AC input: 190/264 VAC 50 Hz, 16 Amperes
u Receptacles: eight IEC 320 10 Amperes, and one IEC 320 16 Amperes
u Power cable: 2.5m with IEC 309 16 Amperes plug
u Output rating: 3520 VA total @ 220 VAC
The non-domestic AC distribution box is rated for a maximum output rating of 3520 VA (Volt-
amperes) at 220 VAC. The sum-total VA load that the devices pull must not exceed this maximum,
else a breaker in the AC distribution box trips when power is applied. A second AC distribution box
must be installed to provide the additional power requirement. The following figure shows the non-
domestic AC distribution box.
IEC 320 IEC 320 Power
10 Amp 16 Amp switch
Each receptacle on the AC distribution box is rated for a specific VA. The IEC 320 16 Ampere
receptacle (J9) is used for the power cord from the base unit. The remaining eight IEC 320 10 Ampere
receptacles are for additional devices installed in the rack. Follow these guidelines when connecting
equipment power cords:
u If the J9 receptacle is not used, then the eight 10 Ampere receptacles (J1-J8) can support the full
3520 VA load.
u If the J9 receptacle is used, then the eight 10 Ampere receptacles (J1-J8) can support only 1760
VA load.
WARNING The wall outlet to which the AC distribution box is connected must be an IEC 309 type outlet on
a properly grounded branch circuit.

4
Equipment Power Loads
The power load values for the base unit and disk array cabinet are provided below. Load values of
equipment must be taken into account when installing equipment to the rack.
Device Max Load
System base unit with eight drives 1200 VA
Disk drive cabinet with eight 4 GB drives 265 VA
Disk drive cabinet with eight 9 GB drives 261 VA
4-port concentrator 8 VA
8-port concentrator 10 VA
PC Extender 13 VA
The VA load of Intergraph rack-mount options is printed on the back of the device. Add the VA load
for each device to determine if the AC distribution box can handle the load. If it cannot, add an
additional AC distribution box. The VA load of a device is the product of its operating Voltage (such
as 110 V or 220 V) times its current rating (2 Amperes, 3 Amperes, 6 Amperes, etc.).
Placing the System
Before you unpack the equipment and begin setting up your server, determine where you want to place
the system rack. Keep these guidelines in mind:
u Place the rack as close as possible to the proper wall outlet. The power cord connecting the AC
distribution box or UPS to the wall outlet serves as the disconnect device.
u Place the rack in an area where air can circulate freely around it. Ensure that the front and the back
of the rack each have 36 inches of clearance for servicing the installed hardware.
u Do not expose the system to high levels of dust, smoke, or moisture.
u Place the system in an area where the temperature range stays between 10 °C and 26 °C (50 °F to
80 °F). The optimum operating temperature is 21 °C (70 °F).
u Place the system in an area where the humidity stays between 20 and 80 % (non-condensing). The
optimum operating humidity is 50 % (non-condensing).
u The rack is not designed to be moved when equipment is installed (other than what is pre-installed
by Intergraph).
WARNING Once you install the equipment, do not move the rack. If you must move it, then remove all
equipment, move the rack to its new location, and re-install the equipment.

2 Installing the InterServe 650, 660
This chapter provides instructions for installing the InterServe equipment into the Intergraph rack. The
equipment is secured in the rack along the side mounting posts, which have industry standard
7.1 mm diameter mounting holes along the edge. The mounting posts have small round markers to
designate each vertical unit. There are three mounting holes per U, and at every 4 U there is a small
square marker. The total vertical mounting height within the rack is 40 U.
The system components should be installed in the following order:
u Uninterriptible Power Supply (UPS)
u InterRAID-8 disk array cabinet
u InterServe base unit
u Rackmount interface (keyboard, mouse, monitor)
u RAID disk drives
u System power and data cables
u Rack cable handlers
u Accessory components
WARNING Follow the installation instructions explicitly to avoid personal injury and damage to the server
hardware.
CAUTION To keep the rack from moving, ensure the front and side stabilizers are fully engaged and the leveling
feet are lowered firmly to the floor before installing equipment into the rack.
Note the following points before installing equipment into the rack:
u The rack must be properly set up before placing any equipment into the rack. If installing the
equipment into an Intergraph rack, follow the instructions in Intergraph Rack Installation and Use
(DHA0194x) supplied with the rack.
u Do not start the system until it has been completely set up. After setup is complete, refer to the
System Setup for startup and configuration instructions.
u As equipment is installed into the rack, some components may not align properly with the holes in
the mounting posts. This occurs because some components have different tolerances in regards to
their height. If components do not align properly, loosen their screws and adjust support rails and
shelves where necessary so the components can be suppoerted by the proper shelves or rails, rather
than by the component underneath.
