Server Installation
2.1 Overview
This chapter provides advice and instructions for mounting your system in a server rack.
If your system is not already fully integrated with processors, system memory etc., refer to
Caution:
2.2 Unpacking the System
Inspect the box in which the system was shipped, and note if it was damaged. If any equipment
Appendix A.
2.3 Preparing for Setup
The box in which the system was shipped should include the rackmount hardware needed to
install it into the rack. Please read this section in its entirety before you begin the installation.
Choosing a Setup Location
•
• Leave enough clearance in front of the rack so that you can open the front door completely
• This product should be installed only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated equipment
rooms, service closets, etc.).
Chapter 2: Server Installation
• This product is not suitable for use with visual display workplace devices according to §2
Rack Precautions
•
the full weight of the rack rests on them.
• In single rack installations, stabilizers should be attached to the rack. In multiple rack in
stallations, the racks should be coupled together.
• Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a server or other component from
the rack.
•
taneously may cause the rack to become unstable.
Server Precautions
• Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Appendix A.
• before you install the rails.
•
way up.
• Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server from power
surges and voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a power failure.
• Allow any drives and power supply modules to cool before touching them.
• When not servicing, always keep the front door of the rack and all covers/panels on the
servers closed to maintain proper cooling.
Rack Mounting Considerations
Ambient Operating Temperature
the rack environment may be greater than the room's ambient temperature. Therefore,
consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with
the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient temperature (TMRA).
Chapter 2: Server Installation
Airow
operation is not compromised.
Mechanical Loading
Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that a hazardous condition does not arise due
to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading
Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the power supply circuitry
and power supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should
be used when addressing this concern.
Reliable Ground
A reliable ground must be maintained at all times. To ensure this, the rack itself should be
grounded. Particular attention should be given to power supply connections other than the
direct connections to the branch circuit (i.e. the use of power strips, etc.).
special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines
are provided to ensure your safety:
• This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.
•
with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
• If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or
servicing the unit in the rack.
• Slide rail mounted equipment is not to be used as a shelf or a work space.
• Stability hazard. The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in place, or the rack must be
can cause the rack to tip over.

2.4 Installing the Enclosure
Figure 2-1. Rack Rails
(Left Rail Assembly Shown)
When installing the enclosure, remove all blades, power supplies, switches and management
modules. Install these modules after the enclosure is mounted.
If desired, use the template to mark the position that the enclosure will occupy on the rack.
The chassis comes with two sets of rack rails, one set for the right side of the chassis and
one for the left.
For each rail, sections are screwed together to keep them immobile during shipping.
2. Slide the rails apart far enough to match the depth of the rack. Note the arrow on the
rail, which indicates the end that attaches to the front of the rack. Position each rail and
Lift the enclosure and slide it into the rack. Use two roundhead screws on each side of
the server to lock it into place.
