Preface
The Stratus ftServer V 6624 Hardware Installation Guide (R005S) documents the
hardware installation procedures for Stratus ftServer V 6624 systems.
This manual is intended for Customer Service personnel who are installing these
systems. Because the internal components of an OpenVOS ftServer system are
installed before arriving at a customer site, this manual documents only the procedures
necessary for setting up a customer system.
Revision Information
This is a new manual.

“Safety Notices” on page 1-2
“Required Tools” on page 1-3
“Unpacking the Cabinet” on page 1-3
“Moving the Cabinet to the Installation Site” on page 1-6

Safety Considerations
To ensure a safe and effective installation, follow the procedures exactly as they are
written in this manual. Before installing the system, take the following important
precautions:
Do not attempt to install the system without the assistance of another able-bodied
person. The size and weight of the system do not allow it to be safely installed by
one person.
The information in this manual assumes that the system site has been prepared
according to the instructions in the following manuals:
–Stratus ftServer V 6624 System: Site Planning Guide (R763)
–Stratus ftServer V 6624 System: Operation and Maintenance (R764)
–Stratus ftServer Systems: Peripherals Site Planning Guide (R582)

Safety Notices
1-2 Stratus ftServer V 6624 Hardware Installation Guide (R005S)
See these manuals before proceeding with the installation.
Observe all applicable industry safety standards. See “Safety Notices” on
page 1-2.
Provide the necessary space and light to safely perform the installation.
Do not wear conductive objects, such as rings, bracelets, and keys.
Safety Notices
WARNING
!
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect
type. Dispose of used batteries according to the
instructions provided with the battery.
WARNING
!
If you receive locking power cords with your system, do
notsubstituteother power cords.Use ofthe locking power
cords ensures proper grounding of the system.
WARNING
!
Depending on the configuration, the system uses two or
four power cords to provide redundant sources of power.
To fully remove power from a system, disconnect all
power cords. To reduce the risk that electrical shock could
injure a person or damage the system, exercise caution
when working in the unit even when only one power cord
is connected.
WARNING
!
To prevent a cabinet from tipping over and injuring a
person or damaging the system, start installing systems
from the bottom of the cabinet upward.
WARNING
!
If you replace the modem cable supplied by Stratus, use
a cable with a gauge of at least 26 AWG to prevent fire.

Required Tools
Unpacking and Positioning the Cabinet 1-3
Required Tools
To install the system, the following tools are necessary:
#2 Phillips screwdriver
Scissors or utility knife
Metal shears to cut pallet straps
3/8” drive ratchet with 9/16” socket
Open-ended 9/16” box wrench
Assorted open-end and/or box wrenches
ESD static kit
Assorted tie wraps
Unpacking the Cabinet
The cabinet-mounted system is enclosed in a cardboard shipping container, which is
secured to a shipping pallet by exterior tie-down straps. (Inside the cardboard, interior
straps secure the cabinet to the pallet.) A ramp for rolling the cabinet off the pallet is
attached to the front of the shipping container, along with two transition plates, which
you use to secure the ramp to the pallet. A lever bar is secured to the ramp, for use in
tipping the cabinet to remove it from the pallet. Labels on the cardboard cap indicate
the front and rear of the cabinet.
Figure 1-1 shows a shipping container for a 38U cabinet that contains one or more
systems and optional components. (“U,” for unit, equals 1.75 inches (in.), or 4.45
centimeters (cm).)

Unpacking the Cabinet
1-4 Stratus ftServer V 6624 Hardware Installation Guide (R005S)
Figure 1-1. Cabinet Packaged for Shipping
1. Check the packing list to verify that you have received the correct shipment.
2. Verify that the Shockwatch indicators on the outer sides of the shipping container
have not been activated.
NOTICE
If you received the wrong shipment, or if a handling
indicator has been activated, do not proceed with the
unpacking. Contact the CAC immediately.
3. Verify that the area through which you must move the system has adequate
clearance, as the following figures indicate:
Figure 1-2 shows the dimensions of a packaged 38U cabinet.
Figure 1-3 shows the clearances required at the installation site.
Include the height of the pallet jack when you calculate the overall system height.

Moving the Cabinet to the Installation Site
1-6 Stratus ftServer V 6624 Hardware Installation Guide (R005S)
If the corridor and door dimensions are large enough to accommodate the
unpacked cabinet still tied to its pallet, use a pallet jack to move it from the delivery
site to the installation site, as described in “Moving the Cabinet to the Installation
Site” on page 1-6.
If the corridor and door dimensions are too small to accommodate the unpacked
cabinet still tied to its pallet, unpack the cabinet and unload it from the pallet before
you move it to the installation site. In this case, use the pallet jack to move the
unpacked cabinet as close to the installation site as possible. Then, unpack the
cabinet, remove it from its pallet, and roll it carefully on its casters to the installation
site.
Moving the Cabinet to the Installation Site
WARNING
!
To avoid personalinjuryordamageto the system,two
persons are required to move, unpack, and install an
ftServer system. Because of the size and weight of
ftServer systems, have professional movers deliver and
move the packaged units to the installation site.
NOTICE
To prevent or minimize condensation on the system’s
internal and external surfaces, avoid exposing the system
to extreme temperature and/or humidity changes when
moving it to the installation site. If the system has been
exposed to extreme temperature or humidity conditions
during transit, or if condensation is present, see the
section “Stabilizing the System” on page 1-18 for
stabilization guidelines.
When shipped, the system cabinet is tied to the pallet beneath it. The pallet has a
clearance for a pallet jack to move the unit. When moving a system, follow these
guidelines:
1. Verify that the unpacked system is still secured to the pallet.
2. Use a pallet jack to move the system on its pallet to the installation site.

Removing the Packing Materials
Unpacking and Positioning the Cabinet 1-7
NOTICE
Use a pallet jack, not a forklift, to move the packaged
system.Usinga forkliftcoulddamagethesystem.Usethe
pallet jack at the front or rear of the cabinet.
3. Position the cabinet pallet so that it has the clearances shown in Figure 1-3.
Removing the Packing Materials
WARNING
!
To avoid personalinjuryordamage to thesystem,two
persons are required to perform the following
procedures.
1. Orient the system package so that the package and the ramp have, as a minimum,
the clearance shown in Figure 1-3. Also, verify that you have enough clearance
above the system to remove the top cardboard cap.
2. With one person holding the ramp in place, use the metal shears to cut the exterior
shipping straps. To avoid injury while cutting each strap, hold the strap firmly
with one hand as you stand away from it. See Figure 1-4.
WARNING
!
The shipping straps snap with considerable force when
they are cut! To avoid eye or skin injuries, use caution
when cutting the shipping straps.

NOTE
It is possible that the system will include only one
accessory box.
4. Remove the cardboard pieces of packing material surrounding the cabinet (see
Figure 1-5). These pieces include two C-fold sleeves around the sides of the
cabinet and a cap at the top.
