Filler Boards And Filler Panels; Handling Components - Fujitsu SPARC Enterprise M5000 Service Manual

Free-standing equipment racks should be supplied with a stabilizer feature, which
must be sufficient to support the weight of the server when extended on its slides.
This prevents instability during installation or service actions.
Where a stabilizer feature is not supplied and the equipment rack is not bolted to the
floor, a safety evaluation must be conducted by the installation or service engineer.
The safety evaluation determines stability when the server is extended on its slides,
prior to any installation or service activity.
Prior to installing the equipment rack on a raised floor, a safety evaluation must be
conducted by the installation or service engineer. The safety evaluation ensures that
the raised floor has sufficient strength to withstand the forces upon it when the
server is extended on its slides. The normal procedure in this case would be to fix the
rack through the raised floor to the concrete floor below, using a proprietary
mounting kit for the purpose.
Caution – If more than one server is installed in an equipment rack, service only one
server at a time.

Filler Boards and Filler Panels

Filler boards and panels, which are physically inserted into the server when a board

board, connect an antistatic wrist strap between you and the server.
Caution – The boards have surface-mount components that can be broken by flexing
the boards.
To minimize the amount of board flexing, observe the following precautions:
