Chapter 2: Installation in a Rack
Chapter 2
Installation in a Rack
This chapter provides instructions for mounting your chassis in a rack.
2-1 Preparing for Setup
The box in which your system was shipped should include two sets of rail
assemblies, two rail mounting brackets and the mounting screws to mount the
system into the rack. Please read this chapter in its entirety before beginning the
installation procedure.
Choosing a Setup Location
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold your system. It should
be a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical
noise and electromagnetic elds are generated. A nearby grounded power outlet.
is required
•Leave at least 25 inches clearance in front of the rack to open the front door
completely.
•Leave approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for
sufcient airow and access for servicing.
•It should be a restricted access location, such as a dedicated equipment room
or a service closet.
2-1

SUPERSERVER 1028R-WTNR(T) User's Manual
2-2
2-2 Warnings and Precautions
Rack Precautions
•Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to
the oor with the full weight of the rack resting on them.
•In single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack. In multiple
rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.
•Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the
rack.
•You should extend only one component at a time—extending two or more
simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.
Server Precautions
•Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Chapter 4.
•Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the
rails.
•Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack rst, and then
work up.
•Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server from
power surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a
power failure.
•Allow the hot plug SAS drives and power supply modules to cool before touching
them.
•Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the servers
closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.

2-3
Chapter 2 Installation in a Rack
Rack Mounting Considerations
Ambient Operating Temperature
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient temperature
of the room. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment
in an environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient
temperature (Tmra).
Reduced Airow
Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of airow required
for safe 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 the effect that any possible overloading of circuits might have
on overcurrent protection 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.).
To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you
must take 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.
•When mounting this unit in a partially lled rack, load the rack from the
bottom to the top 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.

2-3 Installing the System into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the chassis into a rack unit with the
rails provided. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean
that the assembly procedure differs slightly. You should also refer to the installation
instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.
These rails t a rack between 26" and 33.5" deep.
Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails
The chassis package includes two sets of rack rails, one set for the right side of
the chassis and one for the left. Each set includes the outer rail pieces that attach
to the rack and the optional inner rail extension. The inner rails are pre-attached
to the chassis.
