Changing from pedestal to rack
Your FT5000 server may be initially supplied as a pedestal mounting unit and at some future time
you may wish to change that to a rack mounting.
To change your server from pedestal mode to rack mode, you must complete two basic steps:
removing the components of the pedestal mount, then configuring the server for a rack mount.
Fitting rack mount kit is described in the next section, this part covers only a few details
unique to the task of preparing a pedestal mount server for rack mounting. Turn to the next
section if your server is already prepared.
Remove the covers
1.
Read through the 'Safety guidelines' at the front of this chapter.
2.
Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the server.
3.
Turn the server power off with the on/off power switch on the front of the server AND
unplug all AC power cords.
4.
Label and disconnect all peripheral cables attached to the I/O panel on the back of the server.
5.
Remove and save the single screw from the back of the top cover.
NOTE
There is no requirement to remove the access cover. This should remain in place as part of the
system security measures.
6.
Place the fingertips of your hand under the built-in handle on the back of the cover.
7.
Using an even pull, slide the cover backward, about an inch, until it stops.
8.
Pull the entire cover upward, straight away from the chassis, to disengage the rows of tabs
from the notches in the chassis. Set the cover aside.
9.
Remove and save the two screws from the back of the left side cover.
10. Remove the side cover in the same manner as the top cover, pull the cover back using the
built-in handle, then lift it away.
