Chapter 2: Server Installation
2-1
Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 6018R-
MT/6018R-MTR up and running. Following the steps in the order given should en-
able you to have the system operational within a minimal amount of time. This quick
setup assumes that your system has come to you with the processor and memory
preinstalled. If your system is not already fully integrated with a serverboard, proces-
sor, 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.
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 elds are generated. You will also need
it placed near a grounded power outlet. Read the Rack and Server Precautions in
the next section.
2-3 Preparing for Setup
The box the SuperServer 6018R-MT/6018R-MTR was shipped in should include
two sets of rail assemblies, six 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 minimal 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) and approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back
of the rack to allow for sufcient airow and ease in servicing.This product is for

2-2
SUPERSERVER 6018R-MT/6018R-MTR User's Manual
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
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 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 SATA 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.

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 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 connec-
tions other than the direct connections to the branch circuit (i.e. the use of power
strips, etc.).

This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 6018R-MT/6018R-
MTR into a rack unit with the rack rails provided. If the server 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.
Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails
You may have received rack rail hardware with the server. (Two front inner rails
should already be attached to the chassis.) This hardware consists of two rear inner
rails that secure to the chassis, one on each side just behind the preinstalled front
inner rails. Note that these two rails are left/right specic.
Installing the Rear Inner Rails
First, locate the right rear inner rail (the rail that will be used on the right side of
the chassis when you face the front of the chassis). Align the two square holes on
the rail against the hooks on the right side of the chassis. Securely attach the rail
to the chassis with M4 at head screws. Repeat these steps to install the left rear
inner rail to the left side of the chassis (see Figure 2-1). You will also need to attach
the rail brackets when installing into a telco rack.
Locking Tabs: Both chassis rails have a locking tab, which serves two functions.
The rst is to lock the server into place when installed and pushed fully into the
rack, which is its normal position. Secondly, these tabs also lock the server in place
when fully extended from the rack. This prevents the server from coming completely
out of the rack when you pull it out for servicing.
