Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your server system up and
running. Following these steps in the order given should enable you to have the
system operational within a minimum amount of time. This quick setup assumes
that your system has come to you with the processors and memory preinstalled. If
your system is not already fully integrated with a serverboard, processors, system
memory etc., please turn to the chapter or section noted in each step for details on
installing specic components.
2-2 Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box the server was shipped in and note if it was damaged
in any way. If the server itself shows damage you should le a damage claim with
the carrier who delivered it.
2-3 Preparing for Setup
Decideonasuitablelocationfortherackunitthatwillholdthe1022TC-IBQF/1022TC-TF.
It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas
where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic elds are generated. You will also
need it placed near a grounded power outlet. Be sure to read the Rack and Server
Precautions in the next section.
The box the server was shipped in should include two sets of rail assemblies, two
rail mounting brackets and the mounting screws you will need to install the system
into the rack. Follow the steps in the order given to complete the installation process
in a minimum amount of time. Please read this section in its entirety before you
begin the installation procedure outlined in the sections that follow.
Choosing a Setup Location
•Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front
door completely (~25 inches).
•Leave approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for
sufcient airow and ease in servicing.

2-2
A+ Server 1022TC-IBQF/1022TC-TF User's Manual
•This product is for installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated
equipment rooms, service closets and the like).
•This product is not suitable for use with visual display work place devices accord-
ing to §2 of the the German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display Units.
2-4 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 si-
multaneously 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 hard drives and power supply modules to cool before touch-
ing them.
•Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the servers
closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.
•Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not blocking
the chassis airow. See Chapter 5 for details on cable connections.

Chapter 2: Server Installation
2-3
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.).
Warning! 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.

2-4 Installing the Server into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the server into a rack unit with the
rack rails provided. If the system has already been mounted into a rack, you can
skip ahead to Sections 2-5 and 2-6.
There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the assembly
procedure will differ slightly. You should also refer to the installation instructions that
came with the rack unit you are using.
Note: This rail will t a rack between 26" and 33.5" deep.
Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails
You should have received two rack rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit. Each
assembly consists of two sections: an inner xed chassis rail that secures directly
to the server chassis and an outer xed rack rail that secures directly to the rack
itself (see Figure 2-1).

Installing the Rack Rails
The SC808 chassis includes a set of inner rack rails in two sections: inner rails
and inner rail extensions. The inner rails are preattached and do not interfere with
normal use of the chassis if you decide not to use a server rack. Attach the inner
rail extensions to to the inner rails, to stabilize the chassis within the rack.
Installing the Inner Rail Extensions (Figure 2-2)
1. Place the inner rack extensions on the side of the chassis aligning the hooks
of the chassis with the rail extension holes. Make sure the extension faces
"outward" just like the preattached inner rail.
2. Slide the extension toward the front of the chassis.
3. Secure the chassis with two screws as illustrated.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for the other inner rail extension.

Installing the Outer Rails to the Rack
1. Attach the short bracket to the outside of the long bracket. You must align the
pins with the slides. Also, both bracket ends must face the same direction.
2. Adjust both the short and long brackets to the proper distance so that the rail
ts snugly into the rack.
3. Secure the long bracket to the front side of the outer rail with two M5 screws
and the short bracket to the rear side of the outer rail with three M5 screws.
4. Repeat steps 1-4 for the left outer rail.

Installing the Chassis into a Rack
1. Conrm that chassis includes the inner rails (A) and rail extensions (B). Also,
conrm that the outer rails (C) are installed on the rack. (See Figure 2-4.)
2. Line chassis rails (A and B) with the front of the rack rails (C).
3. Slide the chassis rails into the rack rails, keeping the pressure even on both
sides (you may have to depress the locking tabs when inserting). When the
server has been pushed completely into the rack, you should hear the locking
tabs "click".
4. (Optional) Insert and tightening the thumbscrews that hold the front of the
server to the rack.
