Chapter 2: Server Installation
2-1
Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter outlines the procedure to set up your system and install it to a rack. If
your system is not already fully integrated with a motherboard, processors, system
memory etc., please turn to the chapter or section noted in each step for details on
installing specific components.
2-2 Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box the system was shipped in and note if it was damaged
in any way. If the server itself shows damage you should file a damage claim with
the carrier who delivered it.
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the server. It should be
situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat,
electrical noise and electromagnetic fields 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.
2-3 Preparing for Setup
The server may have come with hardware to mount the system into a server rack. If
mounting to a rack with the rail kit, follow the steps in the order given to complete the
installation process in a minimum amount of time. Please read this section in its en-
tirety 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) and approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back
of the rack to allow for sufficient airflow and ease in servicing.
• This product is for installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated
equipment rooms, service closets and the like).

2-2
SUPERSERVER 5037MC-H12TRF User's Manual
• This product is not suitable for use with visual display work place devices
acccording 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 floor 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 it.
• 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 first, 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 drives and power supplies 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.

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 tempera-
ture 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 tempera-
ture (Tmra).
Reduced Airflow
Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of airflow 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 connec-
tions 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 filled 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
SUPERSERVER 5037MC-H12TRF User's Manual
2-5 Installing the System into a Rack
Use the procedure below for installing the system to a rack.
1. Decide where you want to place the system into the rack (see "Rack Mount-
ing Considerations" in the previous section).
2. Position the template at the front of the system to determine the locations of
the screws for the chassis rails (see Figure 2-1).
Figure 2-1. Positioning the Template
3. The two rail sections are screwed together to keep them immobile during
shipping. Release these screws just enough to allow the rails to slide apart.
Note the arrow on the rail, which indicates the end that attaches to the front
of the rack.
4. Slide the rails apart far enough to match the depth of the rack. Position the
rails with the template and secure the front of each to the front of the rack
with two flathead screws, then secure the back of each rail to the rear of the
rack with two flathead screws (see Figure 2-2). Note that the rails are left/right
specific and very heavy.
5. (Optional step) Add the front left and right handles to the chassis using
screws to secure each handle. Install a thumbscrew through the bottom hole
of each handle.

Chapter 2: Server Installation
2-5
Figure 2-2. Securing the Rails to the Rack
Note: These handles are optional and need only be installed when mounting the
system into a short rack. When mounting into a deep rack, they are unnecessary
and regular screws should be used instead of thumbscrews.
6. With one person on either side, lift the system and slide it into the installed
rails.
7. After pushing the enclosure all the way into the rack, use two roundhead
screws on each side of the server to lock it into place.
Warning: do not pick up the server with the front handles. They are de-
signed to pull the system from a rack only.

2-6
SUPERSERVER 5037MC-H12TRF User's Manual
Figure 2-3. Installing to the Rack
Stability hazard. The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in place, or the
rack must be bolted to the floor before you slide the unit out for servicing.
Failure to stabilize the rack can cause the rack to tip over.
Note: this figure is for illustrative purposes only. Always install servers to the bot-
tom of a rack first.
