Scalar Key Manager Rack
Installation
These instructions explain how to use the rail kit to install your Scalar Key
Manager server in a rack. To remove the server from the rack, reverse these
instructions. Store this information with your server documentation for future
use.
Review the documentation that comes with your rack cabinet for safety and
cabling information.
When installing your server in a rack cabinet, consider the following:
• Ensure the room air temperature is below 95°F (35°C).
• Install the server only in a rack cabinet that has perforated doors.
• Do not block any air vents. Usually 6 in. (15 cm) of air space provides proper
airflow.
• Plan the device installation starting from the bottom of the rack cabinet.
• Install the heaviest device in the bottom of the rack cabinet.
• Do not leave open space above or below an installed server in your rack
cabinet. To help prevent damage to server components, always install a filler
panel to cover the open space and to help ensure proper air circulation.
• Do not extend more than one device out of the rack cabinet at the same
time.
• Connect all power cords to properly wired and grounded electrical outlets.
• Do not overload the power outlet when installing multiple devices in the
rack.
• Remove the rack doors and side panels to provide easier access during
installation.
• The slide rails in this kit come preset to the correct length for installation in
an IBM-type rack cabinet and they are adjustable for other rack cabinets.
• The slide rails are marked (RIGHT/FRONT and LEFT/FRONT) for proper
placement on the rack-cabinet flanges.
WARNING: Do not place any object weighing more than 110 lb. (50 kg) on
top of rack-mounted devices.

Note: If you are installing the server on a rack with threaded holes, you must
use the appropriate screws (not supplied) for the rack.
Note: The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your
hardware.
Required Tools: This server does not require any tools for installation, unless you are shipping
the server in a rack. When you are shipping the server in a rack, you will need a
Phillips screwdriver.
Rail Kit Contents Figure 1 shows the items that you need to install the server in a rack cabinet. If
any items are missing from the rail kit or damaged, contact your place of

Installation Instructions 1Press on the rail-adjustment bracket on the rear of the slide rail to prevent
the bracket from moving. Then, press on tab 1 and tab 2 and slide the rail-
locking carrier toward the front of the slide rail until it snaps into place.
Press on tab 1 and tab 2 on the front rail-locking carrier and slide the rail-
locking carrier toward the rear of the slide until it snaps into place. See

2 Securing the slide rail to the rear rack mounting flange. If you need to
adjust the slide-rail length, lift the release tab and fully extend the rail-
adjustment bracket from the rear of the slide rail until it snaps into place.
See Figure 3.
•Threaded holes: If you are installing the slide rails on a rack with
threaded holes, ensure that the rail-locking carrier is open (the pins do
not touch the rack mounting flange).
•Non-threaded holes: If you are installing the slide rails on a rack with
non-threaded holes, align the pins on the rear rail-locking carrier with
the holes on the rear rack mounting flange. Then, press tab 2 to secure
the slide rail rear mounting bracket to the rear rack mounting flange.
See Figure 3.
Important: Ensure that the pins are fully extended through the rack
mounting flange and slide rail mounting bracket.

3 Securing the slide rail to the front rack mounting flange.
•Threaded holes: If you are installing the slide rails on a rack with
threaded holes, ensure that the rail-locking carrier is open (the pins do
not touch the rack mounting flange).
•Non-threaded holes: If you are installing the slide rails on a rack with
non-threaded holes, align the pins on the front rail-locking carrier to the
front rack mounting flange. If you adjusted the rail length, push the rail-
locking carrier back toward the rear of the slide rail to align the slide rail
with the rack mounting flange. Then, press tab 2 to secure the slide rail
front mounting bracket to the front rack mounting flange. See Figure 4.
Important: Ensure that the pins are fully extended through the rack
mounting flange and the slide rail mounting bracket.
Repeat Step 1, Step 2, and Step 3 for the other slide rail.

4 Installing slide rails on a rack with threaded holes. If your rack does not
have threaded-holes, skip this step and go to Step 5.
Install the appropriate screw for your rack (not a hex M6 screw) in both the
top hole and the lower hole of the front slide rail mounting bracket to
attach it to the front of the rack cabinet. See Figure 5.
Repeat this step to attach the rear slide rail mounting bracket to the rear of
the rack cabinet; then install the other slide rail.

5Installing slide rails on a rack with non-threaded holes. If your rack does
not have non-threaded holes, skip this step and go to Step 6.
Secure the slide rails to the rack by installing the M6 screws on the front and
rear of each slide rail mounting bracket. See Figure 6.

6Transporting the rack cabinet with the server installed. If you do not plan to
transport the rack cabinet to another location with the server installed, skip
this step.
If you plan to transport the rack cabinet to another location with the server
installed, remove the large screw and discard it. Remove and save the front
screw and loosen the two rail screws. Then, fully extend the rail and insert
the screw you saved into the position where the large screw had been
located. Tighten all screws to secure the rail. See Figure 7.
Repeat this step for the other rail.

7Align the server on the slide rails and push the server fully into the rack
cabinet. Secure the server to the front mounting flanges with the captive
thumbscrews. See Figure 8.
Note: You must leave the shipping brackets attached to the slide rails
unless the shipping brackets impede the server from sliding fully
into the rack cabinet. If you need to remove the shipping brackets,
continue with the next step.

8Removing the shipping brackets. Only remove the shipping brackets if they
impede the server from sliding fully into the rack cabinet. Otherwise, skip
this step.
Press on the release tab as indicated on the shipping bracket, and remove
the shipping bracket from the slide rail. Repeat this step for the other
shipping bracket. Store the shipping brackets for future use. See Figure 9.
Note: You must reinstall the shipping brackets on the slide rails before
you transport the rack cabinet with the server installed. To reinstall
the shipping brackets, reverse this step.

10 Transporting the rack cabinet with the server installed. Before you transport
the rack cabinet to another location with the server installed, you must
secure the server to the rack. If necessary, disconnect the cables from the
rear of the server; then, slide the server out of the rack 6 inches (150 mm)
and secure the server to the rack cabinet. See Figure 11.
Ensure the rails are fully extended to the rear of the rack cabinet and that
the shipping brackets are installed. Go to steps 6, 7, and 8for instructions.
